Like others have said...not just the regionals. Most companies in the "non-airline" sector are 90 days as well. Besides 90 days is over before you know it and if you are worried then you can purchase your own for cheap for the 90 days or get cobra from your previous employer.
Although i do agree that "all" companies should offer medical from day one or 30 days but usually the reason it is 90 days is so the background checks come back for airlines and probation period is complete for non aviation jobs. If you were an employer would you want to pay for some moron who lied on his/her application and pay for his/her medical only to find out later he/she lied and you have to fire him/her. Waste of money.
