Commair, gone. Colgan, gone. ExpressJet, dying. I'm not sure on this one, but I also think skywest parked some 50 seaters, and republic has parked airplanes they can't staff and has asked for relief. Airlines are cancelling flights for lack of crews. We cover endeavor flying a lot supposedly. Pilot contracts starting to improve due to supply and demand. These things take time to happen. In my opinion, there will be more consolidation, and reduction of aircraft at the regionals then has already happened. Delta 717s are an example of how the regionals are being replaced. Their TA was talking about more small narrow bodied airplanes. United has said they want to do the same.
