It does, however, give the impression that the majority of regional pilots (except Eagel??) hired in the last 5 years had less than 300 hrs. I believe that is an exception rather than the norm. One large regional I know has over 3000 pilots and not one of them was hired with less that 1000 hours. I believe the low time hires were selected at a few (2 - 4) carriers, certainly not the norm. BTW, I personally know 2 pilots at UAL who were hired with 500hrs!
Name the one who never hired under 1000. Skywest and Horizon BOTH hired under 1000TT as I friends at both who had 800ish.
And there were MUCH MUCH more who hired with low time.
