Your regional airline job will soon be the best thing that ever happened to your career.

There will be some of everything parked when the April/May schedule is announced, but I’d much rather be working for an airline with several aircraft types than one that just flys 50 seat jets. I’m not wishing anyone get canned right now, but the 50 seat only guys are either going to come out OK, or really take it in the teeth. United just announced that the reduction is now 60%, so there will be plenty of pilots with nothing to do for a while. This is ugly, and keeps getting worse.

Like I said, tough pill for the heavy drivers to swallow. There's going to be lots of irrational bitterness and personal attacks forthcoming. The 50-seat market looks strong, very strong, in these conditions. relatively speaking.
