I wish we would have the 1000 hour minimum... Maybe instead of more RJ's they will get bigger planes at the mainline level and require less crews and give regionals a true hope for the major level. Instead of 2 RJ's- run 1 Bus.. 1 crew instead of 2, less demand=more competitive on the supply side=more experience before a 121 spot. i am sure that within a couple years things will come back up because the competition is going to really go up with majors hiring and the notion of 6 months from first flight to regional ground school and the idea of a super quick upgrade. It is a good time to get on though if I may say so myself. To be honest I didnt expect to get bites until I had over 1000 (as a bare min) and I was getting hits from the start at 850TT. I just hope it doesnt take an accident to highlight the flight time debate- but it seems thats how things work in aviation.
