None of the big 3 can have their regionals canceling 50% of their flights.

They spent years fooling the public into thinking they are on American when they are really on PSA.

Now they own it and it couldn’t be more perfect for pilots.

Haha. I really did really laugh.

Vasu the great at AA, has bragged endlessly about how important the regional flying is to AA, even saying it is more important then mainline. The majority of the increase of flying at DFW is regionals. They extract as much as they can out of them and still use them as leverage. Regionals aren’t going anywhere in their minds. In fact they want to make them bigger

Then you have Scott Kirby, old Scooter himself, completely bringing negotiations at United to a halt by asking for 90 seat scope, right at the end of their negotiations.

Delta still runs more regionals flights, then mainline, out of their “smaller hubs”. Just cause they have pulled back some flying to mainline, doesn’t mean mainline pilots are going to prosper to the end of time. They had the largest amount of scoped out flying by any mainline operator at one time.

These leadership teams can’t image life with smaller regionals, in fact they want them bigger. No way they ever give them up all together without massive concessions from mainline pilots.
