Aces Low don't be too sure about the rush to RJs continuing ad infinitum take a look at three of the best performing in terms of results and expansion there's two RJs out of a combined fleet of 50 or so aircraft. T/Ps ain't dead yet.
Don't take my word for it just last Monday I was talking to the head honcho of one of the biggest Regionals in the US and while they are big into RJs (they get 100th this summer) he said and I quote "we will always have turboprops on the basis that for some of our routes they are the only a/c that makes sense". Even so as others have said when things get going again there will be jobs for the right guys with the right tickets. And if you are the type that that wants to make a career with a regional instead of chasing the heavy iron you'd be welcomed with open arms...
