Yep, that's about what I hear. I am planning to get my twin stuff knocked out over the next couple of months as well. Based on what I am seeing and the stories I hear, the regionals are def looking to hire. The pay will suck but I can make it for a year or 2 just fine on that pay.
My plane is a 1963 Mooney M20c and going though its first annual with since I purchased it. It will be good for a quick sale if nothing else in the short term. Where do you keep it? I'm in Virginia Beach.

BL, you gotta get some recent turbine if you're that sold on making it to a major. BTW what do you own. Piper arrow ii owner here. Id love a piper jetprop but until then I love flying on my own time!!!
