The regionals will fight to get as many pilots to fill their contractual obligations and gain a share of profit, as pay increases, they'll negotiate higher cost based agreements with the mainlines, leading all in all to higher fares, which in turn means less air travel! This "revolution" to instill higher pay to attract talent is a short term solution. Sad to see the regional CRJ/ERJ/Ejet in the US looked upon as "starter aircraft" meaning a pilot would only join knowing he'd leave to a mainline. Give it a few years, the regional flight decks will be full of 1500 hr guys and 3000 hr captains all who don't really wanna be there tomorrow....i wonder what risk that would create
