Why so much hiring ?
I have been sitting here on the outside looking in . I was wondering why the regional airlines all of a sudden hiring again , like mad. It seems just like yesterday they were lay offs with no hopes of moving on to greener pastures. Question: Are they hiring because of expansion or attrition? If it is attrition where are people going? It just doesn’t seem like there are that many legacy carriers and like hiring at a rate compared to the late eighties. Also with all these new code share agreements changing partners it could be good for some and a nightmare for other pilot groups. When all said and done how do you think this will shake out?
One funny thing I saw last week was an advertisement in the employment section of the Boston Herald American Eagle put an ad in the general help section for Pilots. I guess we are blue collar workers in a white collar atmosphere
