I agree. they should not be lowering the hring minimums just because the airplanes are getting moer advanced. if the autopilot goes down or something crazy happens, an RJ is still a BIG airplane to try to properly fly if you don't have the experience. and you HAVE to plan for something like that happening while in the hiring process. I would like to say that the airlines aren't that stupid, but I have actually seen a couple guys get hired on with about 500TT to ASA and another airline.
