Multi time mins disappearing?
With the ATP rule hitting and regionals struggling to find ATP qualified applicants are multi mins disappearing? So far I see a few that used to have stated multi mins that now have ATP mins only.

Its very unlikely at SKW. I can't remember a time when OO has ever lowered the mins from 1000/100.

I don't think anyone is struggling to find qualified applicants yet, especially with a lot of PNCL and Comair pilots out there now. I was hired when mins were 1,000/100 and everyone in my new hire class still easily had ATP mins and about half of the class had turbine time.

There are definitely places struggling to find qualified applicants yet. TSA is hiring like crazy and having a hard time filling classes, for example.

They won't drop below 50 if the NPRM stands as is because that is the new minimum for a ME ATP.

Ive wondered the same thing. Before, getting 1000 hours was never too difficult and so putting 100 or 200 hours of multi engine time was a great way to limit the pool. Now, it almost seems 1500 hours and 500XC is the limiting factor. With a decrease in applicants, it would make sense to remove the multi-engine requirement.
I know Eagle for one is having a hard time filling classes - I wonder why.
