I think that some on here are making the assumption that the mainline carriers would buy the express and I don't see that happening. I know that at least some of the RJ's are owned by mainline and operated by express. The future seems to be with 90-120 seaters, not 70 so this would require new purchases. Why would management buy a company with pilots at 15-20 year pay scales when they could hire them at year one pay?
