Hopefully the 200 stage lengths improve more in June because these 5 and 6 leg days week after week is tiring and doesn't pay well.

Longer stage lengths are more productive and more profitable for the company and the pilot group.

I've got a CVG to MSY this week. 700 miles. I can't remember the lat time I flew the 200 that far!

I think this kind of stuff is going to push SKYW and RAH to want more control over routes/equipment they fly for their 'mainline partners'. Codeshare anyone?

The airlines (especially the regionals) are generally reactive, not proactive. Prepare for a world of suck...again.

In the past, yes.

I seriously doubt the likes of Jerry Atkin, will just say ohh well... and take it up the you know what for too long.

It may be better for the regional, but mainline wants first class seats and they're not putting them on a crj-200.
