Comair and ACA got totally replaced. Horizon and other high cost regionals may follow in their steps.
I disagree with the whole CPA business model. I never said I was ok with it. I'm happy flying a Q400. All regionals should fly their own brand and be done with CPAs. The use of CPA flying is a means to force down wages and enable the whipsaw. No hypocrisy here, I am a vocal advocate of the death of CPA flying.
