This is true. The minimums were lowered to the FAR minimums because of the pilot shortage. It already happened. We're just too naive and optimistic to realize that it already happened, and the results were not what we were expecting. There might be another one in the future, but overall wages will not increase. There just might be a raise to new hire pay at the lowest level (regionals).
