Look back at the last big hiring spree, it was not the Majors who were hurting, but the RJ's and the FBO Puppy Mills, who were losing every 250+hr. IP they had to the RJ's, who were losing every 2000hr. Captain they had to the Majors.
So, now that there is a new FAR, where RJ F/O's have to have 1500hrs., where are they going to find F/O's?
