I had been hearing and reading since the tail end of last summer that Eagle would never lower their mins below 100 multi because it was demanded of them from their insurance provider. Why the sudden change of heart? I know there are a few things coming up affecting pilot staffing, including:
1. The 1500-hr rule takes effects in 2013
2. Age 65 retirements will be starting in 2012
3. New duty time rules expected out later this year
That said (and I know each of those changes and their associated potential pilot shortages have been discussed heavily in other threads), I'm sure there are plenty of applicants out there with over 100 multi, so why widen the applicant pool?

The insurance I carry on my Saratoga can be lowered slightly for attending a WINGS program or similar, and I think many car insurances are the same way with defensive driving (if it wasn't associated with a ticket).

While they will become "public" later this year (end of summer possibly?) they wont go into effect for a while, and the "word on the street" is that they will be implemented in stages as to not cause "undue stress" on the airlines....
In other words it aint gonna affect the airlines/pilots for a while. As with any rule change (and any government action for that matter) takes a while to be final....

I ran into a kid the other day who had a job at Air Whiskey a month before he graduated college. Are the regionals already starting to feel the pinch? I imagined they would feel it in a couple of years, but thought they could still have their choice of pilots for the time being?

This is a fairly accurate description. 1500 hiring mins I bet will go active almost immediately, with a grandfather for those who are already in. Duty rules will have to have a trial period with federal oversight. It's going to be at least 12 months before they are the official rules we play by. No one really knows how to build trips or staff for this yet, it takes time. You can't reactionary hire/upgrade for this though. Early next year the wave should begin.
