United/DAL/AA will hire the pilots they want from a regional, then shut it down and set the remaining pilots free to apply to the remaining regionals. This process will repeat until the regionals are gone. If Republic goes into BK, they will be the first example, reference their Executive stock sell offs.
The reason SKYW is hiring at these rates is to be able to pick up the slack when Republic chains the doors shut, but don't fret, SKYW will let you guys interview for F/O positions at the bottom of the list.
This is a carnivorous industry, strap in tight, rides are gonna deteriorate.
