Pilot mills are feeling the squeeze. Nobody wants to sign up to pay $200k to get their pilots licenses anymore. So they put out stuff like this to try to get applicants. Its a bunch of BS.
The good news is that if pay doubled at the regionals, it would destroy their business models and put them all under. The only financially viable method for the flying to be done would be less flights with bigger jets being flown by mainline pilots. So, bring it on.
