Actually the regional industry is expected to shrink over the next several years with more flights going to mainline. Retirements are also expected to increase as the baby boomers make their moves. They might have to stay longer than 3yrs but big deal. Currently we are out of the norm with the speed up upgrades/hires. This time extending a little would be things returning back to normal.
