It means less majors jobs, and a heck of a lot less money
A couple points:
1) Airtran's 717's seat 117, not 85.

2) MAPD puts guys through to mesa with ~200TT. There are guys with around that time flying the "90 seaters" at MAG, which are actually 86 seats.
3) In rickair's defense, he mentioned its a net gain for pilot jobs but a net loss in quality of said jobs.
Dude you're batting 0 for 3 today...
