They can either create more crappy jobs at places like TSA, or they can create more mainline jobs.... which would you rather have?
Yeah but here's the problem with that utopian statement, what about the mesa's of the world? As long as any regional is flying 700/900 anybody that isn't is just a moron. Yea we'd all rather be earning mainline wages but there's no way to do that since like it or not those type of airframes ARE being flown at the regionals.
