I can’t speak to whether or not they wish we still had them. But at the rate of engine failures we were having it’s gotta be the mx costs were escalating.

my prediction is by 2026, regionals will go back to what they were in the 1970's. A place to build time, with low pay. They'll still exist, but no longer do lift for the airlines. It's no longer cost-effective to use them.

I don't think so. The 88 was going away before covid was a thing. I was planning my exit strategy Dec of 2019.

Will the turboprop come back to take the EAS routes under a 135 model? I could see someone propose a national (yes, I'm thinking pre-deregulation style) regional airline that covers a 'region' of EAS. None of the outsourcing the RJs caused, but a true EAS regional model. One for each of the corners and one for the central U.S. (maybe N. and S.) Who knows.

Age 67 will also save us from liberals, diversity, woke'ness & those damned 45-year-olds who think they are ready for upgrade.

Since idk how to just reply to the thread without quoting someone, I’ll use my last post to quote. I’ve heard 3 different things now and all of which were apparently from BS himself at yesterday’s ATL meeting. I’ve heard AE “first half of June” “second half of June” and “maybe June or July or august” . If the guy said something, only one of the options are true. Anyone know exactly what he said? I’m just curious! I’ve got buddies questioning me now.
