Without regionals dealing with what really matters (pay) all the regionals will die in a matter of time simply because they will have no pilots to fly them. Without all of the regional pilots saying enough is enough it will never get better.

I personally have six friends that have all bailed in the last year and left the aviation industry all together. They were all between 4 & 7 year FO's, and not one regrets the decision.
