That should be enough of a swing to either make companies like GoJet get better, or put them out of business for good.
A few years ago I said by mid decade there would be half the number of regional pilots (10,000 instead of 20,000) and one fourth the number of regional airlines (we half already seen 6 go by by). I think my crystal ball is going to be on track.
