So how does it work? Mesa restructured under bankruptcy, parked all but 1 or 2 50 seaters, and is growing at a reasonable rate. Skywest has 161 CRJ-200 aircraft that are getting long in the tooth. You guys are already offering $7,500 to CL-65 type rated applicants that complete IOE at Skywest. What happens when Skywest can't fill classes and you guys are forced to cancel flights? I seem to remember this happening at XJT a year or so ago, how'd that pan out over there?

The 50 seater isn't in the long term plan for UAL, not sure about DAL or AAG. So with staffing issues at the regionals, mainline caring less and less about 50 seat feed, and the production line for 50 seat aircraft pretty much non-existent, I wonder how it is that you can sit there and criticize a pilot group for not "getting it" when half your fleet is made up of CRJ-200's. I don't care who you are, that's funny right there.
