Most of the hiring at the majors have been to replace the shrinking regionals. The retirement wave is just getting started and does not account for the mass amount of hiring that has occurred.

There are more pilots that are exiting the regional sector than there are entering. True there are 50 sweaters getting replaced by 76 seaters but they both take 2 pilots to fly. Capacity might look similar, but those seats take fewer pilots to fly.

I admit I jumped around on the video, but the extreme zoned out disinterested look on the reps face who is sitting next to the woman at 50:28 says it all. These guys are a bunch of paid shills whose hearts aren't into the crap they are spouting. This "summit" is inane and worse than listening to congress-speak.
They claim new nurses are making 40-50,000 range, noooo. Try 60-80,000. Yes, nurse work their buts off. An X-ray tech with a 2 yr degree is 40-50K.
I love how their recruiting strategy is SJS, though!

For those of you that say "regionals won't be around in 5 years". Why did delta just ask for 25 more 76 seat aircraft in the TA? Why did United just add 10 additional 175's? Management doesnt plan to let the regional flying go.

With the work hours and pay the way they are, for many the pilot career just isnt attractive. As they say "the juice isn't worth the squeeze"

In my opinion, there will be more consolidation, and reduction of aircraft at the regionals then th as already happen. IE 717s at Delta
Pay rates? Hmmm what's the f/o pay again? Still dismal compared to eveyother country. Oh maybe they are offering 200%? That's nice but I enjoy my days off and prefer not to work or get junior manned on my down time.
Name one regional that has GREATLY improved their contract....I'll wait.
