I mean look at their qualifications- 1500hrs TT, 200 Multi, Aviation Degree preference, and those employed in a multi engine position have preference. Those requirements show me that regionals are looking at their new hire's liability. With all the regional accidents in the past 5-10 years caused as pilot error i dont blame them at all.
