I know several pilots who wouldn’t be in any airplane were it not for RJs. You took the money.

Sure, if they’re willing to fly a bus with 90 open seats every morning out of podunk Nebraska, effectively removing that same bus off a much more profitable route. The other option is leave the small markets and go head-head with all the LCCs.
Mainline pay? not even close, but 50% would be a huge improvement for the majority.
I’d be willing to call their bluff.
