i would say none of these people will have regrets. remember almost every regional slashed their TT requirements because nobody was coming for the lousy pay. And for the most part that strategy has been hugely successful, because they can keep labor costs low (sunk training costs are a different story but thats less tangible). The people who were well qualified chose other routes like corporate flying, and all these people who are looking for a quick way in are enjoying this newfound ability to get hired. so will they be happy to pay back 25 G's to be an RJ FO? You bet your sweet a$$ they will
