The BEST course of action would be to have every jet with 51 seats or more flown by mainline.... a few regional pilots would be out of work, but thats business and life. Plenty of mainline pilots have been out of work for MANY years because of regionals flying their seats and routes. I hope for a CAL style scope in the merger.... but most likely a cap on the current # of RJ's will be the end result.
Those furloughed mainline are being absorbed by regionals and jets for jobs programs so they're still flying. I would not be surprised if we see 70+ seat UAX RJs flown by regional pilots with furloughed mainline pilots. Kind of like compass.
