True that. Anyone following the money train can discern that the regionals scam came about so that majors could cheapen labor costs. Anyone can also look at Flight Aware or Flightradar24 and notice that some of the routes that regional airlines are flying are anything BUT regional. Now that the majors are flush with government COVID loan money they are not too concerned about increasing labor costs yet, so it wouldn't make financial sense for them to buy any regionals at the moment.
