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!
My Father In Law was hired at Pan Am in 1967 with 600 hrs and NO multi time! (I do suppose it helped that HIS father was already a captain, #107 on the seniority list and was a Naval Aviator prior to)
