The best part about this lack of productivity created is it will cause regionals profit margins to tank. Perhaps the RJs will make it back to mainline after all.

Disclaimer: I'm not hoping or wishing for people to lose their jobs. I just want the RJs to be where they should've been in the first place.

Domestically.....perhaps. Internationally, it'll make a big difference.

Be sure to write a nice, friendly letter to your Congressmen or Senators that sponsored this Bill and then voted to pass it...

I will now be spending more time sitting in a hotel for the foreseeable future than I will at home. At regional FO pay this really makes this unacceptable. At this point in time 2/3 of my life will now be working and waiting.

Any regionals out there use any good pairing optimizers? Anyone noticing anything different between pbs vs non pbs. I know It really shouldn't make that much of a difference because if the trips are garbage pbs can't do anything about it.
