think its soon to be the motto of all the majors to cut the routes of the regionals that aren't as profitable, won't just be us airways....for all the mesa guys, really wish them the best, for someone sitting high on a seniority list, starting over isn't much fun, hopefully they can find further advancement, and not just get to a "good" regional....go for the gold.

I think PSA and Peidmont are fairly safe being that they are wholly owned and small. Republic is safe with the E-jets. As as far as anyone else goes, who knows. Just so everyone knows, Im a US Airways expert. Just ask me, I'll tell ya.

Air Wisconsin's owners have something like 2M+ shares of LCC as well as a seat on the LCC BoD. Or, they did not too long ago...
Nobody is SAFE but my guess is AWAC is safer than Chautauqua (NOT REPUBLIC) & TSA, and maybe even Mesa and PSA.

Looking at Chautauqua, we have already seen a reduction in the number of 50 seat operations under Airways. This partly due to the arrangement with Airways for E-jets, we loose 145's in a one for one swap with each new one on line. It will be interesting to see if anything else causes some shifting...

We (CHQ) are down to 8 US Airways 145s as of this month. Losing 8 airplanes would be a dent, but it wouldn't be a catastrophe, especially since we are gaining 175s for Airways on the RW side.
