On that "regionals are tumors" theme:
"The PSA test measures the blood level of PSA, a protein that is produced by the prostate gland. The higher a man’s PSA level, the more likely it is that he has prostate cancer. However, there are additional reasons for having an elevated PSA level, and some men who have prostate cancer do not have elevated PSA."

It's more like a symbiotic gut bacterium.
A tumor kills the organism within which it develops; a symbiote assists its host in a mutually beneficial relationship, ehancing the chances of survival for both partners.
Regionals provide frequency and cheap feed for major carriers. Unless you can pull of a regulatory hail-mary and require all flying done under a specific brand to be operated by the same certificate holder who markets and tickets the flight, regionals will continue to be the sharecropping peasants on your lordly fiefdom, yielding revenue for the King/shareholders at court.

...and people leaving "better" regionals like Envoy and XJet/ASA for Mesa because they see the way the wind is blowing.

flapshalfspeed,
I thought Mesa kept a 50-seater around just so they could pay all the pilots the 50-seat rate during vacations and training.

From: 767 FO
I'm going with the majority on this one. The future at G7 is rather ambiguous right now. We're already understaffed, we're loosing a lot of both captains and FO's leaving and we're not doing a thing to attract new hires.
Additionally we're still in negotiations over a new contract so expect mistakes to be made. If you live in one of our bases including DEN (just announced) G7 may be a good bet but otherwise I'd look elsewhere for now.
