Quite a few are jumping to the regionals now with these programs. GoJet and TSA have had these programs, and some of the American WO as well. Quite a few Army helicopter pilots do not need the transition programs as well since many get some King Air time or other fixed wing time, but I have a friend in the Army National Guard who has guys call me all the time asking about getting into the regionals and making the transition to fixed wing.
