I wouldnt be surprised. Back when regional hiring was cranking in 2007-2008 people that couldnt get hired at other carriers would come to Eagle and finish IOE, then get scooped up by Skywest/RAH once they proved they could make it through the training at Eagle.

Its getting to the point where there just arent enough applicants for Eagle, and they will need to find a new way to attract applicants. Even lowering the mins wont help much now... it should start to get really interesting.
