Ya, I've gotten a few responses like yours. Nowhere did I say it was a good thing, bad thing, wish it did (or did not) happen, etc... just my thoughts.
I don't work for a regional airline. I don't own stock in one.
My biggest fear is the exportation offshore of the regional model, as SkW / ASA did with Mekong in Vietnam. I see that disease spreading. There's no scope to even slow the disease. I foresee similar operations flying A330's for glorified regional pay. Anybody care to bet against this?
Money talks, and nobody flies as cheap as a US regional pilot. That's a fact. [edit: delete my unfounded rumor]
