Looking forward here, there is a lot of temptation to choose a regional based on a flow through agreement...


My question is whether or not the majors will actually cannibalize their wholly owned? In other words, wouldn't they prefer to take pilots from other airlines' regionals instead of their own? Flow throughs it would seem to me would be hurting their own regionals.


So in that regard, perhaps it is better to choose to work for a regional that doesn't have a flow-through program, or choose a regional that is wholly owned by a major you are not interested in working for? If the majors drain their own regional could they be shooting themselves in the foot?

Thoughts?
