Last fall it was happening a good bit, I even got mine moved up about 2 months. Word on the streets is they cracked down on that and are no longer re-assigning earlier dates. Feel free to call and find out for yourself.

Hi all. I'm sure my chances are slim to none at this point with the slow down, but wanted to get some opinions regardless:
1600 TT
600 turbine SIC (all 135 time, no 121)
CFI
Internal rec
App professionally reviewed
Will have an A220 type and hit the line at my new company in a little over a month
Seems like maybe 6 months ago I would have had a shot at around the 2000 TT mark, but what about now?
Please dont yell at me.
Thanks!

Still a lot of movement…still a lot of retirements on the horizon. Keep your app updated as you get some time at your new job (I assume Breeze?) and it will happen.

”Slowdown” is all relative. If we hire 1100 this year, that would be the most hired in a year in the last ~ 25 years if you exclude 2022 and 2023.

2009: 0
2010: 218
2011: 0
2012:0
2013:0
2014: 945
2015: 891
2016: 1192
2017: 1050
2018: 545 (with a 6 month pause in hiring due to 'scheduling efficiencies' - a huge mistake)
2019: 465
2020: 385 (Jan-Mar. Covid stopped hiring for 15 months)
2021: 782 (Starting in late Jun)
2022: 2335
2023: 2416
2014: ? (Supposedly ~1100)
So you can see, when they ARE hiring, the default hiring 'rate' over the past decade+ is about 1000-1100/year, barring a reason to pause or catch-up in hiring.
One thing is certain, you can't get hired if you don't have your app in. Keep updating it every 2-4 weeks until you get the call. Go to OBAP/WIA/NGPA events. Get an internal 'rec'. Do everything you can to get the call. Good luck!

How hire-able
I am wondering how competitive my times would be with the current landscape. I am at the dreaded SkyWest, I know my best option is to go somewhere else rather than stick it out any longer, but I really want to avoid a lateral jump as much as I can.

Whether it would be faster to leave for a LCC than stay at OO is another question, and I’m not the best equipped to answer that one.
