Multi Requirements Coming Down?
With regionals having a tough time finding pilots, I always thought that the multi engine requirements would disappear (Other than having a CMEL rating) in order to find more pilots. That doesn't appear to be the case. Does anyone have any insight into this? What is causing regional airlines to stick to 50 or 100 hours of multi required when there is no FAA mandate holding them to it?

50 hours is as low as it will go due to the ATP requirement. Having said that, you can credit 25 hours in the simulator, so the regionals are taking guys with 25 hours of multi.
I also know a guy who got hired at a regional with no multiengine rating and 0 hours of multi as long as he agreed to get his multiengine rating and 25 of multi time before class start date. He had to shell out a bunch if money and fly his butt off between the interview and class date.
