One of the more well reasoned articles I've read about the regionals and their self created plight to find pilots. I had a very large issue with the second half of this paragraph
"Citing the pilot shortage, two regional operators, Republic Airways andSeaPort Airlines, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in February. Other regional carriers have been unable to fulfill their obligations to their mainline partners, resulting in shake-ups; United Airlines, for example, recently transferred 40 jets from ExpressJet to CommutAir in the hopes the latter could better meet its needs."
Otherwise it would seem that the public is starting to figure out what the problem is.
