I thought Ameriflight and Airnet/Flightexpress were pretty regular at hiring. There are many locally known freight jobs, too. Yeah, bank work has dwindled, but other things are still time critical. It also seems like SR-22 air taxi type gigs are popping up quite a bit. Plus aerial mapping, pipeline patrol, various corporate gigs...
If the airlines have trouble finding people through traditional means, they will have to find ways to get people via their own methods; bonuses, sponsored flight training, career progression, etc.
