Saab, please tell me you didn't...wait, you did....i can't believe you just posted this today...mins have been that low for a while now, it's nothing new over at TSA.
Wanna hear something more fun, i met a new hire who was starting class back in June (maybe May) he was in class on a monday, hired the week before...but he got his commercial/multi the Saturday between being hired and starting class....hired w/ a conditional "get your twin rating" so ... there ya go.
Now, what's really lovely is have you heard of the new upgrade minimums? ATP requirements...i just hope airplanes don't start falling outta the sky, 250 hr TT pilot, 1500 hr Captain with 500 in type, gonna be a fun time in the future...the other funny thing, while the other regionals are avoiding things like this...it is a telling of the times, especially @ places that are "below" average (the Mesa's and TSA's of the world)

This is Bananas, I never thought this would happen, I hate to say it, but its only a matter of time until an RJ gets seriously bent and people get hurt due to EXTREMELY inexperienced pilots............ I wonder if the majors will look down upon these types of applicants in the future......................... crazy my friends crazy...........

SAAB,
You seriously thought it wouldn't come to this? Everybody is lowering their minimums. Piedmont's have been "Multi-commercial" for some time now. The average around here is still somewhere in the area of 500 hours. Yeah, that's low compared to what was out there a couple years ago but I remember instructors bailing with about the same times pre 9-11.

I don't want it to trickle. I want the floodgates to open.
Even better than that, it's time to take back what we lost. Pay, work rules, etc. Rather than setting the bar lower, lets raise the standards.
