I read the entire thread. I don't think a pilot, regional or else, should be required to have CFIs, but I think it will better prepare them to be captains. Especially when their FOs are the inexperienced pilot flying a jet to minimums in a blizzard.

My point was: What will prepare a pilot for that? I agree that a CFI won't either, but EVERY pilot won't be prepared a some point in there career. There's no really easy transition from piston to turboprop/jet.
