It's a start. This could be a good idea for many different reasons. Honestly, how long would any regional last (ASA, Comair, Mesaba, anyone) with doing their own branded flying? Not even a month. If mainline airlines wanted to keep the regional airlines flying for them, they would be forced to bring them up to their certificate.
