The problem that I see is that there are fewer and fewer mainline positions to gain. You have to look no further than the nearest hub. Rows and rows of mainline gates with RJs parked on them. Not only are the regionals undercutting mainline, regionals are undercutting other regionals. Take a look at the Comair terminal in CVG. CLT used to have "2" commuter airlines, now it has about a dozen "regionals."
I miss the days of 727s, DC-9/10s L10-11s, and 737s lining all the gates. Go to airliners.net (sorry Doug) and do a search of your local hub in the 60s-80s. Then compare what you see to today's terminals.
