I'm gonna whip out my crystal ball as is everyone else in this thread but in person opinion, the regional industry will be mostly gone in 4 years, it'll look like it did pre 9/11. It will be there but on a smaller level. I.e gone with the 2 hour routes on 50 seat jets and back to mostly hour tops flights. You might start seeing guys getting hired direct to majors and bypassing regionals altogether. Someone in your shoes, don't be too concerned with the Regionals, it's a dying industry. All this barring another massive terrorist attack or economic downtown like 2008. We shall see.
