Well, I just picked 32 seats because that's a number that popped in my head. Believe me, I understand the implications of something like this. There will be a slow disappearance of regional airlines (or a buyout). Can you imagine if the CAL pilots started flying 170-190? Granted the pay wouldn't be super. Maybe they would be able to get down eventually to small props.
In my opinion, the "regional" airlines have gotten fat. The pay is too high and the contracts are just not working in this fuel environment.

As far as the comment about "Regional pay too high", I simply can't believe what I am hearing.

to whomever said that 20K a year is too much. That's 1st year FO pay at a company that has invested over 30K into training most CFI's that can barely fly to begin with. So it's pretty much a gamble as to if they are gonna make it. Would you rather pay to fly the first year, like we used to have to?
