better quality of people will become Airline Pilots since now it's a real profession with real salaries. There wouldnt be these cheesy names like go jets, envoy, republic, endeavor, commutair, etc, etc, etc...Net, net it's a win win situation for management and employee groups..BUT, the problem is that pilots at the Majors didn't want this because they thought they were better than regional pilots..They thought flying an RJ was below them
And while absorbing the regionals would be a win-win for both sides of the fence, it is not done because regional flying, or even flying an RJ, is 'beneath' them..? That's a pretty powerful pilot group making those kinds of decisions.

I have 0 experience in regional flying but have jump seated with various regional carriers at least 100 times in the past 3 years. Every crew, to a man (woman), was very professional and highly skilled.

If the Majors start flying regional jets in house and pay Delta/United CRJ900 pay rates, the entire industry would be fixed. There would be no need for "regional airlines" anymore. Every pilot would become a Major Airline Pilot and the entry level seat would be the small jets(RJ's)..The industry will become a million times safer as all training would be conducted by the Major Airline itself. There wouldn't be a bidding war or a race to the bottom as they say. Hiring standards would go up and better quality of people will become Airline Pilots since now it's a real profession with real salaries. There wouldnt be these cheesy names like go jets, envoy, republic, endeavor, commutair, etc, etc, etc...It would simply be American Airlines or Delta Airlines or United Airlines painted on these aircraft..There is a lot more to it but you folks get the idea..Cost is NOT a factor, I assure you. Net, net it's a win win situation for management and employee groups..BUT, the problem is that pilots at the Majors didn't want this because they thought they were better than regional pilots..They thought flying an RJ was below them so management is not alone to blame..The industry can be fixed and it's really not that hard either..Will it happen? That is to be seen
