Not necessarily. 50 seaters are becoming uneconomical. They're not even being produced anymore. Tightening down scope will make it easier to recapture all scope. As 50 seaters continue to be parked regionals will continue to shrink. Less 70 seaters allowed means more lift needed at mainline. Either way, the pendulum is swinging back to mainline.
