With schools like AllATP's advertising 2 years from zero time to E175 right seat it's no wonder why the overall level of maturity has dropped. A regional airline job has become really easy to get. People who can't hack a 4 year school are dropping out and going to a pilot mill, flying around 76 seaters with no interview.
And yet, the mature, seasoned regional Captains with college degrees, clean records and thousands of hours jet PIC time can't get interviewed unless they spend thousands of dollars to attend 5 job fairs.
