I would say the majors should carry about 75% of the blame because you had to know the regionals would fly them at lower rates because part of the savings is coming from those low wages. The wages for the props should have been an indication of where the wages for 50 seat jets would be.
Now the problem is how do you stop the whipsawing because once any regional starts to get a leg up it gets kicked out by someone else and it's not always the other regionals that are doing the kicking. This isn't just a regional problem but an industry one.
