Disagree 100%. This post is way off.
1. Regionals are NOT all hiring, and of the ones who are, some are only hiring for attrition.
2. There is no shortage of pilots at ANY of the regionals as far as I am concerned. NO shortage. Maybe later, but not now.
3. Any minor weakness in qualifications (tickets, busts, low ME, etc.) still counts.
4. MUST hire people with 1500 hours, or close, it per the new ATP rule. In fact, you must have the other times required to take the ATP checkride that he does not have, almost certainly.
This guy faces the same uphill effort any new pilot faced in the last 25 years.
