fastback,
I don't have to be an insider to see what is going on. Its business! So what is "Voted in Favor"?
I agree. You just went in a little deeper than I wanted to in my post. The regionals will not "go away". The routes will shrink. Mainline will put SN, LN, and in some cases WB aircraft on the longer RJ routes. I do not believe the CRJ 900 and 700 airframes will last very long. They will go away because of reliability (airframe) and demand for larger aircraft on those particular routes. For the shorter routes, the -400 will do nicely! I think we will see the changes coming soon.

Speedtape said:Explain why when mainlines gain ground against the LCC's that regional market and routes will shrink? Actually, the regionals are a mainline tactic against the LCC's. Regionals will not go away. They provide convenience and flexibility in gaining market share.
