Its still going to take a while to exhaust that "elite" group. Then it will be open season for the rest of us. Don't read into my term "elite" too much, it is in no way a measure of good pilot vs. bad, or smart vs not so smart. Its just extra boxes you check on an application to help filter through a stack of 10,000. I would estimate theres probably 1,000 or so elites out there. Once theyre all hired, youll see the rest of us get calls. And it will be gangbusters.

Curious what folks' availability has been who've been interviewed by Delta. I have a friend I work with who is available in mid-March (same availability as me) who was hired by UAL but I don't know what the other airlines are doing. I was surprised UAL is calling guys 4-5 months out and figured I shouldn't start worrying until Jan or Feb since I'm not available until mid-March. Now that I know of at least 2 hired by UAL with mid-March availability I'm thinking about stressing out a little

I hit my 1000 PIC 121 turbine 15 yrs ago and I finally go the call to interview at a legacy back in the late summer.
Luckily, I got the job.
