Of course it’s FOs, but they are bidding that much for wet-ink ATPs, to give them their first type rating. I don’t expect those people to not apply to a second tier major because of that, but if you can’t see that the new rates in regionals up the ante across the board then you ought to be in Alaska management, because everyone else certainly realizes that.
