The movement of more and more flying to regional associated airlines is NOT going to stop anytime soon. And ALPA has only itself to blame. The major carriers, unable to resist the union pressure for higher salaries, will continue to divert flying to regionals in order to keep the payroll burden within reason. And in return, ALPA gives short-shrift to regional pilot contracts (where they represent them) prefering to pad the union pockets with dues from mainline carriers.
Very good news for new carriers...plenty of available pilots from which to choose, and lower salaries to boot...such a deal.
The situation in Europe, altho slightly different due to lower pilot numbers available, nevertheless will continue the trend to lower/stagnant salaries for quite some time to come.
