How do regionals prioritize which flights to cancel first when operating for multiple "partners?" The mainline carrier that pays the least! Cheaper is not better. Regionals need to be regional. Anything over 1000 miles needs to be on something with mainline staff above/below the wing. There are Airbus/boeing products from 100-220 seats with common type ratings. Sell the seats and fill them up. Southwest has been extremely successful doing it. Simplify, invest in a respectable product, and grow.
