The elephant in the room is major partner BK...
That could either way for regionals.
They could ditch scope in BK and keep or even actually expand regional flying as NB replacements (don't caught by mainline pilots late at night in the parking lot).
Or they could ditch their regional contracts. If Social D (I remember when that was a punk band) dictates pax spacing, that might be only way.
The former is more likely IMO. But without BK, any big reductions in mainline flying will require reductions in RJ's.

I think AA is at a severely high risk of Ch 11. If any one legacy declares it will greatly increase the chances that the others declare also.
