Not sure why this is so difficult to understand:
I do not want more money from mainline. I hope they refuse to pay more. I hope that causes them to take back more flying. I hope regionals don't exist in 5 years. I hope you understand this.
Seriously though, if the regional model lacking funds to properly pay its pilots, then they need more money from mainline. If they refuse, and drop routes or take back flying I'm totally cool with that.
It is not really an entirely different company though is it? The pilots gave up scope (I wish they didnt) and here we are, flying their customers, their paint, etc etc. If they don't want to pay for that.....we have options listed above.
