Will we begin to see the slow death of the multi-carrier regional airline, such as Republic and SkyWest? Delta is rumored to be going to 3 regional carriers and United is now investing heavily in ExpressJet. Thoughts?

United isn't investing heavily in XJT. They invested a small portion to have a little "ownership", but otherwise doesn't give a rats a$$ about any regional.
