Industry Statistics<br />
“We’ve proven as an industry that even through tough economic times...<br />
regional airlines are recognized by industry stakeholders for all of our<br />
efforts – in advancing safety and contributing to the overall reliability and<br />
professionalism of this nation’s air transportation system...the regional<br />
airline industry is more than a business to us. It’s a passion with well over a<br />
half of my fellow RAA Board members being licensed pilots or mechanics…<br />
some of us even currently rated on our own fleets’ aircraft types.”<br />
