From a personal standpoint I think the company acted too late on getting 700s or 900s and was too comfortable with 50 seat flying.
Other regionals have gotten more block hours and are about to restart hiring/training and have recalled their staff with no intent to furlough yet here we are furloughed, recalled and re-furloughed come March end because there is no demand.
Being a contract carrier I wonder what would happen if UA cut us loose and said they didn’t need us anymore.

It got ugly from April last year and kept going downhill and still continues to do so.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You can spend all day hand wringing about what if’s in this industry. They shaved 100 aircraft off their 50 seat fleet already. East nowhere will still need their one flight a day once the covid slump is over. If they were going to just cut us and pay the penalty, it probably would’ve happened already.

I'd be far more worried about the impact of the massive cuts to domestic oil production that are REAL EVENTS compared to your dramatic soap-opera What Ifs that have little chance of materializing. Covid was a shot in the Left foot. Canceling domestic oil in the name of Climate Change was a shot in the Right foot. We are going from a limp to down on both knees. The industry is going to be decimated. I'd be looking for work outside of this industry rather than sitting in your parent's basement posting What Ifs about the regional airline industry on airline pilot central.
