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.
