“Regional airlines operate half the nation’s scheduled flights, but now, several of those carriers are being closed or are in bankruptcy court protection. As a result, many smaller communities may lose some or all of their air service. Regional airlines also worry that a new rule being devised by the FAA that would require co-pilots to have the same 1,500 hours in the air as captains could result in fewer pilots to fly regional routes, that they’ll go to better-paying jobs at big airlines, or even to piloting cargo or business jets. Many smaller cities could be left with fewer flights or no flights at all.”
