By the time that cycle is done, we'll all be flying 90 seat "RJ's" and management will outsource more of the flying to regionlas, which leads to fewer mainline jobs, and puts downward pressure on mainline salaries.
For the first time, the "shortage" may be a real thing, at least at the regional level. This is the only chance we've got at RAISING the standard, instead of actively lowering it.
Pilots of XJT and EGL have a chance to raise the bar for ALL regional pilots. Please think carefully before accepting concessions.
