The new rules would only require more pilots...that wont stop the regionals from continuing the trend of bigger and bigger jets with cheap labor. I mean who is to say we wont have 200 seat RJs in 20 years? And everyone will just keep saying...no no no...there will NEVER be 300 seat RJs...they cant replace/compete with the B777s and B747s. Yet their will be a Canadair/Embrarer Jet that carrys 300 seats undergoing flight tests.
