Atlas mins are 2000TT.

4 years from now the hiring situation will be WAY different, so don't even worry about it.

My opinion:
SkyWest and Horizon are the best regionals, Compass, Air Wisconsin is next. If you live in your base, going to a "good" regional is not bad, if you can take the low pay.

ATP is now required by all -121 pilots. Almost all regionals are DESPERATE for pilots: Example: Endeavor (the old Pinnacle) is losing about 50 pilots/month. They wanted new hire classes of at least 30 in Jan/Feb. Got 3 in Jan, and probably 3-4 in Feb.

Some overseas carriers are parking planes, for lack of pilots, and more and more are opening US pilot bases. The US majors are even being affected, because they are worried about not having enough regional aircraft flying to fly the feed into the hubs....if the situation gets worse, they will have to add more planes to mainline and hire more mainline pilots.

Good luck!
