The regionals need to be shuttered and all Flying restored to the mainline. Want to work for United? The most junior airplane is the Dash 8. Lower pay? Yes, but with a seniority number, a career path, mainline work rules, and a retirement.

It's the only practical way to handle the pilot shortage without watering down minimum hiring requirements.

Commuters/"regionals" flying 50...70...90 seat jets was never anything more than a whipsaw anyway.
