That's not true in my recent experience, not true at all. RAH hired only a few (if any) out of a group of 6 I was with recently. They did not even bother making me an offer despite my meeting all their requirements. They are not having trouble with their pilot supply over at RAH, they are having trouble finding cheap pilots to meet their low cost of training goals. Lots of pilots are showing up, but not as many cheap ones as they desire. They know who is likely to cost them some money, and they send those pilots home. No shortage.
