It will never go back to what it was. Of course some of it wasn't that great. Back in the 80's and 90's there were few regionals and it took around 4000 hours to get hired by one, and they rarely hired. Now anyone with a few hundred hours can get hired but the pay is low and the job bites. My guess is that in a few years even the majors will be like that.
