I just did a 3 day, SFO - RNO - SFO - EUG - DEN -SAF - EUG - SFO. I was slightly astonished to see that at EUG and SAF, the only airplanes at the airport were OO (wearing UA, DL, and AA colors). At SFO, and I kid you not, of 5 airplanes in the departure lineup, 4 were OO. Finally at DEN, we were at the head of a 6-plane lineup for the 25 departure. Four were OO 175s. One was a UA A319. And then there we were in an OO CRJ-700.
It was kinda spooky, I gotta say.

I had good friends at Compass and TSA. Plus at Expressjet, and things aren't looking too rosy over there. It's awful when any of us lose our jobs. My point in that post was not gleeful...my point was that it was just so strange to be out there and see almost no mainline aircraft and absolutely zero other regionals (aside from one Horizon -400.) I was making a surprised observation, not trying to crow about the fact that OO is still doing a lot of flying. In the pre-covid world there was more than enough flying to go around...alas, come October 1, we're all going to be staring down a very different reality, no matter where we work.

Most regional forums on APC seem to be like that. If you're looking for intelligent conversation, a regional forum on APC isn't a likely place to find it.
