Pretty well sums it up.

All this other talk is just to try and get people off the topic.

Leave the law alone and let the Regionals falter. Let the big jets go back to the majors who will hire all the pilots they need without difficulty. We all know there is no actual shortage of available pilots.

Or... The Regionals could revise their entire business model and scrap the seniority system hiring the pilots they need at competitive pay into the positions they need. The money they would save on training costs alone would be amazing. Again....there is no pilot shortage.

There really are only two choices. After all, we all know that scrapping the 1500hr rule would only delay the problem a year or two because there is in fact a shortage of pilots willing to work for $20K per year.
