As current regional pilots go to mainline, mainline awards bigger jets to regionals as they park the less efficient 50 seaters (number of planes a net loss at the regionals). That's how they're controlling pilot supply.

Well, based on the AA 175s and the beginning of the Q program, BB has the attitude of "bid now, staff later"
Hopefully people there on the Q don't get completely screwed with the new bases (whatever they turn out to be)
