Regionals on the other hand need to raise wages or pay people to become pilots. Its that simple.
Regionals will just fold rather than sponsor bodies to fill seats. But it's a deeper issue than just a lack of pilots. The regional system is unsustainable anymore. Eventually all the flying will go back to mainline again. 5 to 10 years.
