For the love of god, we need to quit telling people that any regional is having trouble getting applicants. The system is clogged with pilots fighting, kicking and screaming to get into the door.
I hate to say this but the word im gettin from hr is that although many are qualified on paper, they are not impressing in the interview overall. I do know that once in a while they miss a good candidate, but if you think they dont need good candidates, you're the one who's wrong. The AA 170s gettin here in a month-3 per and if they think you'll make it thru training, theyre gonna hire you.
Some of you guys may be overqualified- theyre afraid you'll leave after 6 months for UAL/DAL/JB/AA. Good luck guys.
