I say false, all regional airlines are gonna start going to larger RJs. Those who don't(if they're dumb enough not to), will send everyone to the unemployment line.

well... youll get unemployment first... still a lot of speculation, but if you do get unemployed, and you live in certain states, use that opportunity to let the government buy you a type rating in the airplane(s) of your choice

Assuming the people that work in your state KNOW what you are talking about when you mention the WIA, as well as assuming they (the state govt) have the money there to do it.

The 50 still has a few more years of service left in it, the transition isn't going to happen over night. They'll get interested soon enough if they want to remain profitable/competitive for contracts with the majors.
It's the majors that want to get rid of the fuel inefficient 50. XJT, TSA, AWAC and whoever else are workin on it, i guarantee it. I'm willing to bet they're just not releasing their course of action to the employees.

Even though Big Sky and Air Midwest have flown west in the last 12 months, the mighty Beech 1900 is still hauling passengers.
The 50 seat small jet has a long future ahead of it...albeit in largely reduced fleet sizes.
