With the new duty time, and flight time mins, I bet they still do. It ends scope problems, ends RJ problems, end any coming shortage of pilots, including the regional level. If you were hired now you would not hit the line till late Aug 1st, if you flew you butt off your first year maybe 850 hours?? I think the option of bidding out much of eagles flying just became VERY VERY hard. Regional flying is for sure a shrinking thing long term.
