They won't be able to find anybody. Sure they would now because people are willing to fly for free now but mins have nothing to do with safety, it all has to do with the hiring environment. Right now the only idiots flight training are Embry Riddle and similar colleges.... No one in their right mind will be considering this as a profession from now on because the best they could hope for is a CA slot for an ERj 175 OR crj and a long wait for the privilage to be on reserve for a decade at a major. Trainings is becoming ridiculously expensive, might as well become a doctor or lawyer. This next year and maybe the year after that things will be tough but when this economy turns around, there will be no more pilots to draw from. I wouldn't be surprised if we see ab-initio programs for the regionals and abintio programs for some majors in this life time. Kind of like all the truck and bus driving schools out there. Mesa will be advertising for abintio pilots on radio.
