Lol there will be no death to the ‘multi-carrier regional.’ On the contrary as history shows WO’s are the first to go. The pilots ask for more, management doesn’t want to pay out so they say bye bye. Comair come to mind?

United doesn’t have any controlling stake in any regionals. Although they want to so they can jump on the ‘flow’ bandwagon like AA and cut more costs, but fortunately their FA contract prevents this. Their management is clearly out in left-field, since the whole point of regionals is performance, then cost savings. Their decisions are evidently based on cost savings only. Maybe learn from Delta if they’re trying to re-shape their strategy for ‘customer satisfaction’? But, time will tell how many mis-connects and cancellations these sub-par regionals will give them, leading to any cost savings at all...
