No LOL! Currently LCC’s are hiring 1500 pilots. We are hiring alot of pilots in the low 2,000 hour range with no TPIC with no degree.
In the not to distant future we will be hiring 1500 pilots at UAL. Thus the change. The industry has no one left. Kirby wants to hire 8000 on top of retirements in next 5 years. Looks like will be compromising safety for hiring.

If the distance future, yes it will eventually happen. That will be a different conversation at that point lol.

What happened when you applied? If people on here said it wont happen, would you not apply? If you already applied and are seeing what people think, your chances aren't high but they're not 0. With like another 300-400 hours I think you'd be competitive.

How does it work out that a junior FO base can be a senior CA base (MCO in particular)? Seems like B6 is the same way, just wondering why that happens.

Most people that I come across in the airline business have chose to move there later in life to avoid taxes or the slew of other things that would make you want to leave the NE. So you end up with recent hires who happen to live there and a bunch of senior people who moved there later on. Don’t run across very many who spent their whole careers commuting from FL.
