Thanks for your replies. I'd love to see the regionals have a more sustainable compensation package. Something that will make the sacrifices more worth while, and keeps the training pipelines more full. I really felt leaving the door open to 250 hour fresh commercials at the regionals allowed the proverbial can to get kicked down the road further. Maybe the ATP rule will make it that the compensation issue must be addressed, and not simply put off to another day because it is easier to lower minimums.
