Nope, I was responding to the implication they are hiring more 135 pilots because of a lack of 121 applicants.
Besides, my class had one regional FO who did not have prior 135 PIC, and he worked for three regionals over the past 10 years. If there are <3000 hour regional FO's getting hired here, I'm genuinely happy for them. However, they are not an example of the average new-hire...yet.
