make no mistake. There isn't a shortage of pilots. There is a shortage willing to work for so little. I didn't even apply at eagle when i needed employer contacts for unemployment simply because the application was too long. Instead i just blasted off apps to a340 jobs in asia.
It is a win-win though. Those of us with experience don't want to work there and the regionals don't want pilots with experience.
Edit: What happened to my punctuation?
We, THE LOW TIMERS want to Join the Regionals at LOW wages because we want to reach the 4000 TT & join your ranks, so when we get Furloughed, then we will be all equal and then we can understand the pain better.......
