In my opinion, with the exception of Envoy who will likely shutter, there will be consolidation followed by shrinkage in the regional airlines. This shrinkage will cause down grades of captains who already are beyond year 4 longevity.

It's just my theory, but you have to ask yourself why are company's like AA pushing so hard for this with their wholly owneds?
