Sounds like regionals need to start demanding mainline wages. When regionals can no longer afford to fly for the majors and shutdown, the majors will have to do more of thier own flying. More jobs at the majors for regional pilots to move to so they can make reasonable wages flying those 70 and 90 seat jets.
