Very true. At 1000 a month 2000 pilots will satisfy the demand for about TWO WHOLE MONTHS.
Do the math. The LCAs, Captains, and Captain eligible FOs will be getting CJOs before you can get them through IOE.
Seriously, regionals WILL be going out of business, but it isn’t going to alleviate experience problems at the ones that survive a little longer. And a 50 seat type rating right now is damn near a waste of time. They’ll be the first to be parked.
