Although the regional airlines may never go away completely, I do believe some may be acquired by other regional carriers or go into bankruptcy or something else.

Through all of this studying, I have wondered which regionals will be able to retain enough pilots and be stable enough to make it through this shortage. I have my thoughts but I am wondering what other pilots think. So, which regionals do you think will be able to survive over the next 20 years plus?

Here's the list:

-Air Wisconsin
-Cape Air
-CommutAir
-Compass Airlines
-Endeavor Air
-Envoy Air
-ExpressJet
-GoJet Airlines
-Great Lakes Airlines
-Horizon Air
-Mesa Airlines
-Piedmont Airlines
-PSA Airlines
-Republic Airlines
-Silver Airways
-SkyWest Airlines
-Trans States Airlines

This isn't every single regional airline in the U.S. but I took a majority of them. So, which of these do you think will be able to survive? I understand that its impossible to know exactly which are going to make it through this hiring binge at the majors, but off the top of your head which do you think would make it?

Thank you in advance to everyone who responds.
Hopefully they will all be gone if we are fortunate enough
