Also remember these are minimums, as it at least this. We on the regional level get used to looking at listed mins and what you need to get hired and as soon as you get the mins you will get hired due to the shortage at the regional level. The Majors and Fractional are not at that level of desperation yet and with 65 going through it may not be that way for a while.
Not exactly. The majors are very much reaching the desperation level. Just look at the relaxed PIC requirements at DA and the relaxed degree requirement along with age at UAL. Its only a matter of time before meeting mins is all it takes for a face to face at a legacy.
