Why are you guys whining about lowering the upgrade requirements? There are a number of "regionals" out there whose only requirement to upgrade is ATP minimums. Why should Pinnacle be any different? Lowering the total time requirement seems like a good thing to me.....it means you can upgrade sooner! If a guy has ATP minimums and can pass the type ride, OE, etc., then why not let them be Captain?

Here's an idea: GIVE A COMPETITIVE CONTRACT THAT PILOTS WILL WANT TO WORK FOR AND YOU WANT HAVE TO HIRE 19YR OLDS WHO STILL HAVE THEIR PAPER COMMERCIAL LISCENCE!!!!

I keep hoping the general public will figure out the dirty little secret of the "regionals" and the pay rates/duty hours involved for this pay. Maybe, just maybe then we can get the bought and paid for Repbublicrats to re-write the FARs and install an aviation "minimum wage"..

This has gone on far enough!
