Network while you are at your new job, because many of these pilots will be moving on to as one guy put it "The land of rainbows and unicorns," that is the Majors.
Funny, I have three friends who got hired with less time at UAL. And funny also that you assume that current hiring of mostly those with an "in" will continue. By this time next year, everyone will be hiring. By this time two years from now, anyone who wants a mainline job will be able to get one.
And your comment about "one with the best work rules" show how clueless you are about the regionals. Such a thing doesn't exist. "Network at your new job"? What, kiss ass to jumpseaters. Give me a break. Yeah, that'll get you hired.
