Wait, you said you were in training? Really putting the cart before the horse.

It’s great for the majors, but it will decimate the regionals.
That should be viewed as a good thing. We're effectively outsourced, cheap labor currently.
Also, it's not a good thing for the majors, it's a good thing for the pilot group as a whole.
