Sailing,
Interesting topic - numbers close to what? Do any of these Regionals fly the RJs profitably without FFD? If essentially the DCI carriers are not actually operating profitably without being subsidized by mainline I don't see how an economic analysis would show anything other than it was not possible.
I agree that 76 seaters being flown at mainline probably cannot compete economically with 76 seaters being flown at a connection carrier. But I also believe that a standalone RJ operator flying 76 seaters cannot compete economically with 76 seaters at DCI.
If this were not true - where are all the standalone RJ operators?
DCI carriers are operating at below a standalone profitability - if you take away mainline support. Comparing 76 seaters at mainline (without mainline subsidies) is not a valid comparison.

Question. Do we have to fill out anything to get per diem during training or is it automatically done? Also, how do we account for going home over days off(per diem wise)? Non ATL based(conversion is July) until training is finished if that helps. Thanks

Oil prices are on such a slide that they may hit lows found in 1997 ($25/barrel).
