It matters not who/whom is at fault here with respect to the regionals going down the toilet, the 'flush' has been done. The pilots won't be able to control the situation directly but they can help prevent the 'toilet bowl' from becoming completly dry!!
Where here Mr Regional, even tho you have crapped on us from high above for years we are still willing to help, but this time on OUR terms!!
..................more to come am sure, it can only get worse before it gets better!
