The real story is how many CAs and CA-qualified FOs do regionals have on their seniority lists. Because new hires aren’t an issue. Regional CAs are the issue. As for the big pay increases I suspect there will be some shuffling of regional pilots between carriers, but that’s about it. Ultimately the solution for regionals is for the flying to be done on a mainline seniority list by mainline pilots. Money to stay at a regional only works to a point.

That is when you fly the last flight in and first flight out in the morning, with maybe 5-7 hours in a hotel because you are technically on duty all night and off all day when you get back to base. If your evening flight is delayed it can be an even shorter night. Some people who live in base like them because they are home more than four day trips and it’s fairly easy work for minimum guarantee. Those who don’t nap well during the day hate standup overnights.

Not a napper - sounds rough.

-Hire into bases
-Cut down on overnights (1-2 day trips work best)
-Allow part time employment (half time lines or half the number of reserve days)

I have a lot of GA pilot friends with 1500 hours who work professional jobs. If the regional airlines did those and one other thing, they would see a lot more resumes.

I know some international companies offer 3/4, 1/2, etc schedules. Shame that such options are opposed by US employers. I have friends that would be interested. Heck, might even consider it myself
