I hope the CRJ-900 is the biggest airplane that we ever see at the regional level here in the United States. Either that, or pay for those flying it should be significantly higher. Regional pilots are a cancer to themselves....accetping to fly bigger aircraft for peanuts. As sad as this may sound, if a regional happened to put 767's in its fleet there will be thousands of applicants willing to fly them for $24/hr. Now that day will never come......but then again, we all thought there would never be jets or airplanes with more than 80 seats or KIAD-KIAH at the regional level.
In otherwords, no 110/130 seats at the regional level.........unless of course the pay is increased. But the mainline guys won't let that happen cause that takes away their flying and you can't blame them for that.
