Well then enlighten me and anyone else on here that is wondering what your take on it is.

While I don't necessarily agree with your prediction that a change in the 1500 hour rule is right around the corner, I can agree it would have profound implication on hiring predictions. To someone considering a job at the regionals, it would remove the few years of low wages building time. IF regionals continue to increase compensation, it would be a pretty quick route to making a decent living. However, it's a whole different argument on whether that is the safest course of action to put 250 hour wonder kids in the right seat of a transport category aircraft. It's been done before though.
