LOLouder !!!

You're a fake.

3200 pilots was WELL before any of this business with Parker started, so stop falsely inflating the situation to assist in selling your agenda. The FACT is that once the merger occurred, there were over 10 regionals feeding the combined entity and diversification was inevitable. To think Envoy would have become the King of Eagles is misguided error, but is sold by those stumping for the interests of management.

Additionally, the regional feed network will be smaller........MUCH smaller due to the realities of the ever decreasing availability of pilots and will comprise of all larger RJ aircraft in the 64-76 seat range. Look for perhaps 300 or so Jets and that means the overall network will shrink by half from its present state. Divided among 3-4 feeders, that's 75-100 aircraft a piece (ultimately). Some of these feeders will merge (Envoy) and others will vaporize. What everyone is seeing now is simply a temporary stopgap pawn shuffling to plug the dike holes (which is failing) while getting some additional reduction in costs.

It would behoove all those affected to look at the long-term end game big picture, instead of focusing on small, temporary acts designed to instill FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Desperation). Listen to some of the dike holes here;

They are scared, claim you should be scared and preach FEAR.
They claim disaster is all but certain on the present path and preach UNCERTAINTY.
They beg, plead and cry to the heavens that something must be done and NOW preaching DESPERATION.

Like another said, relax, take a deep breath and for god's sake, DON'T LISTEN TO JERRY'S DIKE HOLES !
