The 1500 hr limit for hiring would be interesting, if pay would become more commensurate with experience. Until then, im afraid we're stuck in the current predicament we currently find ourselves in.
When the regionals, even the "bottom feeders", are forced to compete with the 135 companies for pilots, a pay increase might well come. Getting someone to work for 20k is easier when it is the only job he qualifies for. Getting someone to work for 20k AFTER they have had a job makeing 30k and up flying boxes is a tough sell.
