Exactly. This is why the 70-100 seat RJ's are the domestic flying future. SUre Boeings/buses will still be flying, but in order for those airlines to compete, they will have to pay "regional" wages. The seperation of classes in this country is going to keep growing. 30 years from now, you're either gonna be REAL rich or (like most) real frickin' poor.
