Which regionals are going to survive this ?
I suspect that all will survive in some shape or form, but the capacity will be greatly reduced for sure. There will be a market for the feeders but once this two carriers merge (DAL+NWA) some of these hubs will be closed or reduced significantly. Pinnacle once was reduced from close to a thousand pilots back to three hundred plus and it looks like another scale back is looming in the future. On the Delta side, I think the consolidation and availability of options for the feeder market will leave Comair in a very precarious situation
