There are plenty of regional pilots in the States who could fill empty legacy jobs (i.e., Delta, Southwest, Fedex and UAL). But not many people willing to earn $28K at a regional job. The regionals in the States are going to have a difficult time filling their empty seats because few people want to add $150K in debt getting to the magical 1500 hour requirement to sit as an FO in a CRJ or Dash 8. The US regionals are gonna get screwed.
