This is an entirely different industry than when what happened to Comair and ASA happened. EDV became a wholly owned during the first time that it actually became good to be one. The other wholly owned carriers were facing similar hardships before the change but were fortunate to hang around long enough for it to happen.

You have a point. WO versus non-WO is personal preference only, not some kind of truth. While EDV has high pay and good QOL, the whipsawed AA WOs are some of the lowest paying and lowest QOL jobs in the industry now, certainly worse than Republic.

I think history has taught us that no one is safe from bankruptcy or shutdown. But the large amount of investment placed into the WOs in recent years versus non-WOs is a factor to consider. As is flow...

I doubt the A220 kills off any RJ's. Airplanes are most economical used to their maximum potential. It won't be long before the A220 is utilized on long thin routes that RJ's can't make. If anything, the A220 is a bigger threat to the LCC's.
