If you keep the regionals as a cheap operation, why would mainline bring flying back to mainline. Please dont mention the hiring for the next 10 years, one big world screw up and that's all out the window. You play the averages, you all are putting all the eggs in one basket.
While 90% (NOT 99.9) may think all they want is more flow, QOL needs to improve for everyone, without giving up for more flow. Even with the recent raises, pilots are already giving up pay for that flow. The flow needs to be a lot more in quantity and frequency for what the pay is. That’s not likely to happen, but QOL improvements, specifically to reserve rules and schedules could be really improved without too much cost. The biggest cost would be to management and Crew Scheduling egos.
