You guys really don't get it do you? It's UNECONOMICAL to put mainline jets on those routes and/or give the Qs to mainline. Regionals serve a purpose to both mainline management and aspiring up and coming pilots. Management likes them because they are an economical source of lift and newbie pilots like them because they can build their time at the regionals beforing getting on at a major. Everyone actually wins in this scenairio.
Spoken like a true die hard regional guy. The more flying the regionals get/keep, the longer for you to get to a major and start a more fruitful career. If you get your head out of your a$$ and stop worrying about the economies of it, you will be rewarded with that career much sooner...
