If you are already at your regional or 135 operator, why take the risk of going mainline is all I'm saying.
Regarding job security, keep in mind there will always be a low bidder for mainline contracts. Ask the folks at Atlantic Coast & Air Wisconsin...
My prediction is that the next place majors will seek to cut costs is their regional affiliates, as contracts come up for renewal.
