Clearly you are a junior, single FO with nothing to lose. Right now that is an enviable position, but that definitely does not apply to the upper half of the seniority list who has something to lose.

The regional airline industry is in for a real shakeup, and there will be survivors and there will be the "comair's".

Career wise for everyone on the seniority list it would be best to be in the 'survivor' category. Unless you are super junior and go to TransStates as a CA qualified FO flying the same aircraft you did today, possibly forever,only now it is undercutting your comrades back at Envoy..,, or super senior about to flow and don't have a problem throwing the lit match in the gasoline and thrill at the pain of everyone left behind as it burns down. The rest of us are just screwed...
