In addition SAP is a great benefit, but the downfall for management is when pilots don't pick up the additional flying after they drop down to 65 hrs thus creating more open time. We are not having trouble filling classes and classes will continue, there just might be a few more instructors flying this month and next to cover the critical days that we are understaffed.
You're getting new hires now but there are only so many out there in a rapidly shrinking pool. I don't think any regional will be able to staff additional flying.
