You're not looking at it from the viewpoint of mainline. Mainline loves the model. It isn't broken for them. They want 10 regional carriers bidding below cost to secure the flying. And as soon as one "smacks the bottom", they'll just create another with no seniority.

The future of the regionals is a return to the 90's "commuter" airline model. Flying their own planes code share for multiple carriers with their own paint jobs. Probably in large turboprops. Just watch. It's the only way to make money now.
DING!!!!!We have a winner! You are absolutely correct on this matter. This is why it is important to get out, regardless of contract enhancements.
Nevets- pilots following airplanes from regional to regional isn't going to happen. There is no groud work for that, and no effort is currently under way to make this happen. The model is the way it is, and if shuffling airplanes to/from your airline isn't something you can tollerate or stomach, you should be in a different sector of aviation. There is no mainline to regional brand loyalty, what so ever. The continued shuffling of regional flying is as certain as gravity.
