Do you believe the stuff you type? Because i see cutbacks in regional flying. Look at the amount of furloughs and the cuts in block hours. Mesaba will no longer fly turboprops in a year, Delta said it wants to cut 200 RJ's, Mesa just lost all United flying, and now Comair is almost down to half of what it once was.

I could go on with more examples but fact is as of right now RJ's are being cut, and the 1500 hour rule will cripple the regional industry.
