We're getting close. The current regional model is simply not sustainable. The problems we're having with staffing are going to continue to get worse. Delta is already starting to internalize their regional feed by keeping the 717 around and ordering the C series.
Taking eny/pdt/psa pilots and their associated equipment and moving them to the AA side would solve a lot of problems.
