From an outsider view point (I have never flown for the airlines), it seems as though these new duty rules will largely only affect the regional airlines. I would think that this would indeed drive up the typical regional airline CASM. I would think that this along with increasing fuel prices would help push the economics more in favor of the majors bringing more flying in house, and utilizing the regionals less. If it cost the same or more to outsource the flying, I would think that the majors would be more inclined to bring the flying back in house.
...which would be an incredible boon for the regional pilots
