CJC already has been out to DEN once to present the Q to United at their request I wouldn't be surprised if they did pick them up and begin service by the end of the year.
Good luck to all the Lynx guys as I talked to a few good friends last night who work there and I must say BB is an a** h***!

There's no reason to not improve QOL and pay at regionals...those goals aren't mutually exclusive.
Still doesn't change the fact (and TD's point) that mainline jobs (on the whole and on average) pay better than regional jobs, and have better QOL.
Short term sacrifice (mainline taking back regional flying, and regionals losing jobs because of it) will come with long-term benefits (more mainline jobs in the future).

Send those birds to Hawaii. Those Qs are perfect for island hopping. That would kill off that low budget sinking toy Blo! jet operation that is probably hanging on by a thin thread anyway. That would give one a**h*** CEO a taste of his own medicine from another a**h*** CEO.

Maybe I just don't get it. Why not make my time in the regionals more enjoybale and rewarding by improving qol, pay and schedule instead of treating it as a stepping stone. If some decide to stay and make a career out of the regionals, why not. QOL is more important for me than the type of thin foil im flying.
More mainline jobs in the future; that future is not so promising.
just my opinion, no need to throw knives at me!!!

Bingo. No regional pilot should want an increase in flying at the expense of mainline jobs. If 100 aircraft move from regional to a mainline then that's attrition at the regional level and higher paying jobs at the mainline level. Now is RAH mainline? You be the judge but currently I'm not feeling it.
Your post should have started out as: No regional pilot except Republic pilots, should want an increase in flying at the expense of mainline jobs. Look in the mirror. You and yours are the replacements. You are the problem. You are the reason Lynx pilots are losing their jobs.
