What it might do is shore up the ability of regionals to keep captains and particularly LCA's.
Although I still think 67 is an awful idea, IDK that the regionals dying is going to help airline pilots.
Interesting perspective, but very few stay at a regional until retirement age. If age 67 didn't slow down mainline hiring, I'm not sure how much it would help the regionals.
