I assume you have some facts and figures to back that up because most what you said is hogwash. If you don't think the fact that the Regionals no longer have the ability to change their hiring requirements willy nilly based on their hiring needs has not had a significant positive impact on pilot wages and QOL then you are more out of touch than I thought. btw, the circle jerk is strong in this hidden thread. CFI and Sonic should get a room.
