I think all of the regionals are about to become pretty desparate for new blood...AE needs 600, RAH needs 800, PDT & PSA probably need about 100 each just to offeset the new rest rules and attrition. XJT, SKW, Mesa and all the others will need them too. All in all, just this year a couple thousand new SJS kiddes are needed to keep the regional mafiosos a-flyin!

I can't imagine how interesting things will get when legacy retirement and hiring really ramps up. I foresee (and this is just an opinion) regional airlines almost certainly having to raise 1st years pay and starting to activly recruit /poach pilots from competing regionals.
