Like it or not the regionals are going to need lower time pilots in the very near future. I doubt we will see mins of 250tt again but it wouldn't surprise me in the least to see 400 maybe even 350 from some airlines desperate to fill their right seats. It will all come done to $ and management will take the cheaper option every time!

Something very, very wrong. Its sad that the guys who have already put in the time have been kicked to the streets and forgotten. It makes me sick. Guys are graduating flight school, coming on with no interview, while a guy who has already put 3-4+ years into this nightmare can't get a call. Just plain sick.

Do guys with 250 hours even pass training? Traning couldn't be that difficult if therse guy are maling it to the line.

Having been a check airman who was involved with training many 250 to 500 hour guys I can tell you that most made it (more times than not they required additional sim and line training) and some washed out, but like it or not two decades from now the industry will be populated mostly by the generation that went from cero to RJ's, "earned my stripes" will be replaced with "purchased my stripes" a generation that has very little respect for seniority and experience with a huge sense of entitlement, the generation that roll their eyes when you tell them to put away the Ipad at cruise, the generation that ask "how junior the last captain bid went" while you are recommending more OE after they already have had over 50 hours (yeah, that happened a few times) that is where this career is headed.:(
Good luck to all, fbh |

... how many flight hours you have or how much "experience" you have means nothing during training... flying the line is where that makes the difference...
