How long is he going to let Delta build and reinforce their regional feed while his regional feed atrophies?
It's up to Dougie as to whether or not his wholey-owned regionals survive. He can either improve his labor contracts and make them attractive to the few new hire candidates that remain or he can leave the PSA, Envoy, and Piedmont contracts in place and his wholey-owned regionals will wither on the vine.
As for flow, it's not going to increase. If anyone came here for the flow, they're fools.
I hope you do realize that anything they do for one, the other 2 WO's are going to magically get as well. Hiring bonus? same. 121 bonus? same. Pay? basically same. Ipads? Same. Cadet Program? Same.
The days of a WO being different are over and it is going to be harder and harder to look appealing to NH's when all are basically copies of one another. Bases and aircraft are going to be about the only thing each are going to have keeping the WO's different.
