Provided air travel continues to grow past Y2000 levels:

One or two of the regional carriers will fail within the next two years. This will be the result of their inability to hire and retain crews and maintenance personnel. Essentially, it will be employees market and crews will be able to choose the carriers they want to work for. This bodes ill for those carriers that have failed to provide resonable wages and QOL to their employees over the last five years.

Expect consolidation of some of the carriers to reduce costs, and meet CPA obligations.

You heard it here first!
