Does anyone know where the industry is actually at (versus how we feel) in terms of shoring up its regional pilot feed and or altering the ATP law? I understand there have been some impassioned posts here recently, but what wheels are in really motion?

I can think of few bullet points of substantiated things on pilot supply changes to maybe get this back on track;

Flow throughs at Envoy/ Piedmont

Bonuses at Endeavor, Gojets, Expressjet, RAH

Commuter clause at Commutair

CQFO at TSA

Great Lakes part 135 exemption

RAA testimony before Congress, this secret squirrel Riddle conference, the GAO report

Envoy sponsoring CFIs

This list is obviously not exhaustive nor perfect. I don't claim to know what is coming down the pike, as I am just a worker bee. The only *rumor* I hear is that the FAA may be softening on the idea of airlines providing their own seasoning via increased sims and check airmen supervision in exchange for lower hour pilots.
