I came to PSA in feb 2008 expecting 2 year upgrade. Took me 6.5. You roll the dice, sometimes you win but many times you crap out.

Turboprops with more than 19 seats were never going to be flown by the regionals... Let alone jets.
Now airliners are being flown for pennies. So you say never going to happen???

Who let that happen by the way? And what regional pilot wants to be at a regional for more than 5 years?

Second, I think it's been well established that the pilot groups at the Legacy carriers are well versed on scope, and what giving it up does to the industry. Go read some of the recent threads about the APA if you don't believe me.
Lastly, so long as the legacy pilot groups don't sign away scope, Anderson, Parker, and Smisek have no way of transferring aircraft off their certificates and hunting for a cheaper labor pool.
So, tell me again how were going to see regional carriers flying around Boeing and Airbus products?
What very few hard liners at the regionals never seem to remember is that there isn't a regional carrier in this country that owns it's own flying, and that makes all the difference.

First off, you have no idea how old I am.

Further, I predict that by 2020 some type of model will exist where 65% of flying is farmed out to what we call "regional airlines" today.

My prediction is that major airlines will one day simply sell tickets and own the branding. All other services, including the flying of large jets, will be bid out just like the regional airlines of today bid. If you are a business, its a great model to have multiple carriers bid for the same flying.

I called it first!
