Saying it the way you did implies doing something you shouldn't. I legally worked out how to get hundreds of jumpseaters on board, but I never "doctored" anything.
I know what you meant but not everyone one would with the usual connotation of that word. Just saying be careful.

Actually the regional industry is expected to shrink over the next several years with more flights going to mainline. Retirements are also expected to increase as the baby boomers make their moves. They might have to stay longer than 3yrs but big deal. Currently we are out of the norm with the speed up upgrades/hires. This time extending a little would be things returning back to normal.

I agree that we should all pay attention to them because they are one of the larger regionals. Example: how that craptastic excuse for a pay proposal that passed and how its going to affect other people other than them. I know managements in the industry sure as hell were paying attention to that one.
