Yes, I meant regionals. Currently, the majors/legacy carriers still have plenty of applicants. Lack of pilots at the regional level will start to affect the majors, however, as they struggle to feed their larger airplanes. You need RJ's (or smaller airframes in general), to keep 777's full. DAL has a better handle with the C series, but UAL especially is WAY behind. Even if they put in an order today you would be looking at years before something hits the line.
I was comparing costs to other regionals in general as they are forced to increase their costs to attract pilots. I do think our costs are being hurt by the shrinking. As we get smaller the senior pilots become a larger percentage of our workforce. I rarely fly a CRJ with an FO less than 10 years.
