Hey whatever. American Delta and United will all fold to the pressures of mass retirements very shortly. Like the regionals, they will hire anyone. To say they won't is silly. Remember United in the 60s?
If you really do work for major airlines, then you are well aware that it was your actions that created this disaster in the first place. "Regional" airlines are bigger than you, fly more flights than you, and are flying your routes in new airplanes that your company paid for. Was it worth selling that scope for?
