That should be enough of a swing to either make companies like GoJet get better, or put them out of business for good.
Just counting the number on each regional airlines published seniority list I get 21,200 current regional pilots. How did you come up with only 9,000? Mesa, Skywest and Republic alone are close to 9,000 pilots.
