Expect to see the contract regionals getting the carpet pulled out from under them in order to keep the a pool of applicants to the WOs.

If AA was in a position to have its WOs pick up the slack from a failing RAH it would have done so, and right now we see AWAC bleeding without any majors picking it up as a contract carrier, and to add insult to injury, AA WOs start opening bases where AWAC is and offering extra $ to their signing bonuses for prior 121 and CRJ experience.

Likely, It's only a matter of time before most of the regionals die off... the WOs will be the ones standing.
