If you checked the APC majors sections and looked at their hiring mins a few as recently as a few months ago, most accepted SIC time.

This trend will continue, and worsen, since there will be very little movement at the regionals for some time... and when the time does come for majors to be hiring again, many regional Capt's will not be interested in walking away from 100k to go make 40 as an FO again and be on the bottom of the seniority list when more furloughs come.
