I tend to agree from what I know, read, and hear there is no pilot shortage at the regionals yet, and people are applying in same numbers as before. But I also hear that classes are not being filled like at GLA, Eagle, XJT, PDT, and a few others. Obviously HR departments for various reasons are not grabbing these guys and training them to fly airliners. I know in my case I have attended a number of airline interviews and received not a single offer despite some admittedly good interviews. I may not be a pilot rock star, but I can be trained to fly these airplanes safely, and in my view HR is the problem. Perhaps there has been a reduction in pilot supply HR does not get and they still think they can skim off the rock stars.
