While higher ATP mins and ATP Certs. required for all crewmembers sounds great, implementation would be difficult as gaining the experience pays worse than a regional by far!
Mr. Skiles,

THANK YOU!!

I think this is a FANTASTIC idea and have been championing the concept for a long, long time. I truly hope that it gains speed in wake of the tragedy.

YB23,

I don't think the earnings potential while gaining the experience to be employed by a regional is a factor on anyone's radar, only the experience.
