They won't. And don't call me Shirley.

We asked the Director of Ops about it back in May, what they were planning to do when they couldn't fill spots, like a signing bonus. He seemed flabbergasted that we would even mention a signing bonus. His response was, "Well, right now we're paying for the hotel during training."

Wow.

Pilot shortage (which I think is a crock or not... if some regionals think it's hard now, what will they think when DAL, UAL, AA/US are begin to hire in droves AND all new-hires will need at least 1500 hours.

Recipe for disaster.

I'm not so sure the majors will be hiring in DROVES anytime soon. If regionals keep flying bigger airplanes and the majors let them, why would they need to hire? It'll probably just keep them from having to furlough... Don't get me wrong, I HOPE you are right.

I hope to hear this week if I'm in the Aug. or Sep. class.

Most of the people who interviewed with me were CFIs, 5 total, 3 CFIs, 2 121 guys. That was the second half of June.

Let me know if you hear something back. I'm anxiously waiting on a class date as well.
