I'd say prepare yourself for the majors. If oil stays anywhere near $80-100/barrel the regionals will quickly become cost-prohibitive for operations. At todays prices for oil (even 50% of todays prices) a 50 seat jet is just not economically feasible.

The people at Eagle will soon discover what the folks at Xjet already understand - the 50 seat jets are on their way out. The regionals will shrink drastically unless they can acquire larger jets around the majors scope clauses.
