Where are you getting 80 new hires from? That is pretty good since many regionals can't get 10. I can understand Skywest getting guys and maybe Envoy and PSA but where are they all coming from? Is everyone just going from one regional to another?

My thoughts exactly; however, there has to be something going on here. What would be behind the spike in pay, bonuses, etc. for the regional side?

...not to mention the amazingly relaxed requirements for applying at some places. 25 hours of multi is only 10-15 hours beyond earning the rating itself.

Its not the pilot shortage at the regional level, it's 10 years from now, you better have your foot in the door somewhere in the 121 world.
Theres tons of people who left aviation a long time ago who now see an opportunity to get back into it and get current again. I fly with them every day. Even friends of mine who left and started small businesses are coming back into aviation.

I can remember being lectured both as a student in flight school and as a single engine CFI that I would never get hred at any regional with less than 100 hours multi time. It was the hot ticket just a few years ago and according to some would never change. Ever.

"Gotta get that multi bro or you'll b a career CFI..."

And yet here we are. My new hire FO sim partner in the 175 here at Mesa has a whopping 25 hours of multi time and is not an MEI.

So 50 to 60 at Endeavor, 100 at Skywest (65 CRJ and 35 ERJ), 80 at Mesa. What about PSA, Envoy, Expressjet, etc? I know TSA and Compass are getting 40 to 50 and Gojet is getting 4 or 5.Any other real numbers?
