Thank you! So there is a scarce supply of a needed skill set? Fix compensation! I'm tired of minimums being lowered instead of compensation being upped. Make the sacrifice to become a pilot worth while!

Exactly!! They AREN'T going to raise pay. Are you kidding? They'll find other, less expensive ways to get pilots. Come on now!

I get what you're saying. But those managers can cry themselves a river when their company can't staff planes while their competitor can.

If you've already got an ATP what the new ATP minimums are, are largely irrelevant. So, you could have less than 50 ME and an ATP.

You can get a single engine ATP, add on a Multi, and have less than 15 hrs multi.

Or do an initial ATP Multi with less than 50, as in my case. Heck, I have a multi engine ATP with 400 hours in airplanes.

I don't think anyone should have an ATP in a multi engine airplane with only 15 hours multi.

I know right now Piedmont is hiring guys that they will project to have 1500 by August. While it's not the most desirable place to be at, it is however a good place to get your feet wet with little multi time.

Why? If they met the regulations at the time and passed the checkride, that's all they have to do.

Heck, I've got 30 hours of multi time and an ATP multi.
