I have to disagree 100% with your statement that the Majors are at the same state of crisis in regards to hiring as the Regionals are. "Relaxing" requirements is one thing, we all knew that this time in avation was on its way, but it is in no comparison to the Regional crisis where many airlines can not even find candidates with the basic minimum requirements.
If the Majors were at the desperation level as you speak every Regional guy with 1500/1000 would be going to CAL and since I exceed Delta's requirement of 1200/1000 I should be starting there in a week.
