I think Delta is trying to be ready as they and other mainlines hire more
pilots from the regionals than the regionals can replace. Replace 2 or 3
50 seaters with C-series as regionals cant staff them, the 50's that is.
The regionals aren't going away any time soon and probably never.
All it is is codeshareing. If they can get someone else to fly to Podunk and connect on their A/C great. Keeps them from driving to the city and getting on a LCC.
