We all know that regional's are going to shrink. There simply is no other option if mainline starts taking pilots at the rate they are predicted to. Potentially painful times ahead for some. I expect we'll see the airlines that exclusively fly props and 50 seat jets to either fold up shop or be bought for their pilots by other airlines. Perhaps it will be a good thing to work for a wholly-owned airline in the coming 5 years? Who knows...
Delta does some of that stuff too. Some airlines are linking cities with business to other cities like Delta doing CMH-RDU etc. Makes sense.
I think wholly owned will have a little bit of an advantage. But generally speaking i think most of us are in a good position. There is going to be a lot of mainline jobs coming up. Better QOL at regionals due to upgrading etc as well. The lost decade is just something that is impossible to forget.
