But what will really get hammered is new guys starting in 141 zero to hero programs. With regional bonuses pretty much gone and regionals not even paying for the ATP anymore - not to mention the very real possibility of more regionals coming under pressure next year from scope limitations due to major blockhour flying being so low in 2020, A whole lot if people who would have entered the career field either won’t or at least will delay their entry for a few years. That pretty much gives everyone with ANY 121 experience a huge head start in the rebound. Of course, for that to happen there has actually gotta BE a rebound.
