That’s not even including the likes of Frontier, Spirit, Alaska, and ACMI. Those numbers will grow the next couple years to probably 5,000+ a year. So when I talk about a new hire not being here in 3-4 years it’s because of hiring, not some worthless flow. Next 3-4 years should see over 15,000 pilots hired at the airlines I named. Now add up the total number of regional pilots. I know military guys and gals will take some of those slots but the majority will be hired from the regionals. Not sure about you but I like my odds of being one of those 15,000

Yes, they are hiring like gangbusters. And no, that doesn't mean it's easy to get hired. Get real dude, and while you're at it get comfortable in that shiny 175 of yours

I never made an argument it’s easy to get hired at AA outside the flow. Goodness you guys. Get your AA blinders off. There’s other whales in the sea.

Enlighten us, where are you working now? If the answer isn't Delta/United/AA, then I really can't see why you chose this hill to die on. If it's not hard to get hired at a major, and you aren't at a major.... I'll leave it to you to connect your own dots.
