I can see some of the lower paid cargo guys going there to make some real coin while awaiting a call from the majors. There are also some decent contracts if typed in the e175 for regional guys. But if they're hurting that bad for pilots they need to be in the 500k+ range for American pilots to consider straying from the path to the majors to join them. By the time you get PIC time at the regionals you might as well just wait it out for a major to call.
