Are the regionals angling for a repeal of the ATP rule?

I would say if you're flying passengers for a 121 airline minimum of 40K to start and 50K from then on until you advance, a captain should be in the 65-70K range as a new upgrade but bumped quickly to 80K. If you can't afford to pay that, then you should go out of business. Because you can...pass the costs along to the consumer.

The problem is that the FFD airlines CAN'T pass the cost along to the consumer. The majors are squeezing the regionals, so they cannot afford to pay that way. Yes, some will go out of business, but the net result won't change.

I think because DNN is (as far as I know) the only CMS that interfaces (easily) with Microsoft's Active Directory structure. I've actually never been a fan of AD, but it was the path ALPA chose a while back and as such, DNN makes sense, although not from a design point of view.

This is where I go "but Shibboleth/other ways to talk to unfriendly IDM systems".

I sent the following comment through their comment section:

This site would be well served by having a comment section allowing a discussion about the best way to get the change you desire, but also address the issues and challenges in attracting a professional workforce into the 121 "regional" community.
Such a discussion board would necessarily be moderated, but should not be censored, to allow transparency and an unimpeded exchange of ideas that could gain the grassroots support you will require to advance the ideas you propose.
You may find that some of your currently stated reasons for the "shortage" may change, but you could get more support from the pilot community at large, thereby helping your credibility with the media, Congressional Members and the public at large.
