This will be for the regionals. The majors won't have a shortage problem and these pilots would make just as much as any other new-hire and probably cost more to train and maintain at the majors anyway. Whenever a shortage hits the majors, THEN you'll start to see the gear-handle cowboys show up. Not only will regional captains make less in the coming years, they'll now be giving free dual and high workload/stress for the privilege.

Hope to watch this nightmare from the box seats by the time it becomes standard and I don't plan to do much, if any flying as a passenger on the airlines at that point. Perhaps add a concrete roof to my house as well.
