Here's another rumor for the mill:

I was jumpseating on a PSA airplane and they said Kirby apparently mentioned that if they can't get bigger airplanes at the regionals, they might consider folding one of the Wholly-Owneds into the mainline...that they are very concerned about staffing down the road.

That's obviously all rumor, but in my opinion, I think bringing the larger RJs to the mainline would alleviate a lot of their staffing concerns, and they could much more easily "right size" the fleet if they wanted a lot more 81 seat airplanes running around. Keep our outsourced flying limited to the 50-seat RJs and the Dashs.
