I think it may take more than that. I think majors joining up with regionals and having enhanced flow-throughs is what we'll. Not the flows that were tried before, but something much along the lines of Continental Express and Continental back in the 80's. Especially with majors, like UAL, looking hard at the E190/195 for the new small narrow body at mainline the lines get blurred further since it is the same type rating as the 170/175 that is being outsourced now. Start a direct placement from an outsourced 170/175 to a mainline 190/195.
