Back on track, Ms. Black just threw every pilot under the bus. I knew the industry was cutthroat, but to do that out in public: basically, whining that " we are paying them more buuut.....". What a nut job.

My prediction is within the next year or two you will see a major softening of the 1500hr rule. You'll see it knocked down to something like 500 hours in leiu of 16 Sim sessions and minimum 100% hours of ioe. The crisis is beginning and the government won't sit on their hands and watch the nations airlines crumble.

My hope is that Delta is testing the economics of replacing regional feed with smaller mainline aircraft....and that is it wildly successful.

Delta has pay rates for the CRJ-900. They start at $70/hour for a first year FO. $70 per hour. That's 300% what the same pilot will make at a regional. It's infuriating to think how the difference goes to a regional's overhead and its CEO's pockets. Get rid of all that. I hope Republic fails and I hope all the regionals fail. The only reason they exist was because legacy pilots were too proud to fly small planes. Ironically, regionals now fly aircraft sizably comparable to a DC-9, and their routes are anything but "regional." What a twisted industry situation to inherit. Thanks ALPA, thanks old legacy pilots.

Sorry if I offended you because I have different opinion of your idol, but IMO he has exploited his notoriety to address scope through the guise of safety.
