Only way it happens: Eagle cuts/furloughs, Xjet cuts/furloughs, Pinnacle out of business...
So, churn of pilots already in the system is the only hiring solution.
The kids aren't showing up for this crap anymore. They can't make sense of how to pay for it, pay it back, or live on it after hired.
Good post. I think you're right about that being the only way they would be able to get pilots. Even then I think it'd be tough. Only the furloughed, young starry eyed guys and gals would continue to pursue regional airlines for jobs. Very few middle-aged people would continue under such deplorable conditions. Personally, I would walk away and help to fuel the "upcoming shortage".
