The regionals are getting their sh!t together. They want to stem the flow of their pilots leaving for LCC or ULCC. What better to pay them better than our FO's at Spirit, Frontier and Blue and give them a flow that will transition to a job at the legacy's within 5 years. If the legacy's really want to do a two prong approach, they could really ramp up hiring our FO's away. Our attrition is up and will continue to be unless they plug the dyke.

The only downside to the regionals is the work rules. But if your a new pilot with sights set on a legacy, this is they way to go.
