Default 50 seat RJ gones by 2013. Whats to come of this?

According to USAtoday, Regional air travel in 50 seater RJs are going away and could be completely gone by 2013. Whats the outlook for pilot jobs going to be? We'll be operating props again or just do away with servicing smaller cities all together; moreover, what can pilots expect in the near future as far as getting hired with regional carriers is concerned?

not to big a deal. instead of flying 200's we will all be flying 900's. 900's can go into the same places that the 200 can go so nothing will really change. the kicker will be how many seats they put on those 900's and 170's

Is there any aircraft in the drawing board (or in the market) from Bombardier or Embraer that can haul 90+ pax?

Any rumors of US carriers to place some orders on this aircraft? Should chip in its 2 cents eventually on bringing them costs down...

The E-195 can hold 122 pax. Available now. How far away is the 1000?
