Did that regional hiring phenom also include lowering of the pay scale's?
Fred.
Pay Scales, Viable Pilot Working Agreements, QOL Standards, Decent Work Rules, and all in all a lower industry-wide working standard.
The trade-off was MORE, Lower Quality Pilot Jobs for LESS, Higher Quality Pilot Jobs. I know most complain about first year regional pay, but one also has to look at the drop in minimum flight times to get hired as a entry-level first officer. Those have also dropped significantly over the years, so maybe that was the trade-off that evolved in this industry. If we were to try and reverse this trend it would undoubtably lead to less pilot jobs.
Additionally, I don't think anyone, anywhere is entitled to a job solely on the training they received. Everyone should have the same interview and be tested to the same qualifying standards.
If Airline Manamgment is able to manipulative and control it's pilots through promises of career progression, then they will always use said promises as a substitue to Higher Pay and Better Working Agreements.
Promises don't cost managers anything, and managers will always use promises to entice its' pilots. It's up to all of us, as pilots, not to be memsmerized with these frivulous distractions and ask, How Much and Under What Rules.
