Increase the amount of pilots hired via flow agreements (AMR is obviously the farthest ahead here, with flow accounting for well over half of new hires) or ab initio (JetBlue). Then, more pilots will go to the regionals due to the "guaranteed path" to a legacy/major. Keeps regional pipeline/pilot supply line alive.
And for the record, this isn't what I want to see actually happen.
There won't be a shortage for some time, methinks.
