Pilotss hit the nail on the head...my $.02-when I was 23, fresh out of ERAU with a comm/mel/cfii/mei and 500tt, I couldn't even talk to someone flying a 1900 unless I had $12,500 to pay flight safety and MAYBE then I might get an interview (most still wanted 1200tt/200me), NOW, if you have 400tt/50me, you can pick your ERJ/CRJ/1900 carrier of choice and get full pay while in training...Don't like Mr. Darby myself, but he is onto something, never seen anything quite like this...
