they might, but not all will come. Most will go to regionals paying more. Skywest needs 4000 pilots to support its needs until 2024 when UA takes most regional flying in house, and then will only need about 2800 pilots. The upcoming TA will reflect that and leave many scrambling to exit. With a recession and absolute turbulence about to engulf the country over the next few years, the regional model will be dragged along the bottom like a soulless carcass of a lost sheep.
