All I've been hearing for the last couple of years from mainline is there's going to be a significant reduction in 50 seat lift and a restrictive limit for lift above 50 seats. Maybe you guys have ear plugs in or I heard wrong. But that right there points to less airframes to staff and less flights to cover. I don't think it's wise to feel you're regional (contract lift) is not able to be replaced. Look at Comair, eagle/envoy for example.
