Even better than that, it's time to take back what we lost. Pay, work rules, etc. Rather than setting the bar lower, lets raise the standards.
COMPLETELY AGREE. It is time for the regionals to be a little more competitive. Force higher compensation from their customers. Changes starts at home. With management feeding this problem (250 & 25) nobody will get anywhere. TSAs minnimums are to say the least negligent. But they got what they deserved, if you treat everybody so poorly then nobody is going to want to work for you. 600/100 is one thing, as a low time new hire I know the benefits of flight instructing and spending time building time. You learn alot about yourself (your own limitations) and flying. I am certainly not the most qualified pilot, but I am willing to work hard studying and learning. What great captains these guys are going to make with NO CFI EXPERIENCE WHATSOEVER. Its time to turn this thing around.
