They want to skim the cream off the milk, not have to pay 5 cents for extra sims or training. Not that there is any shortage of pilots, period. There is a shortage of super-cheap pilots, that's all. I have seen working pilots being turned away, picking one guy out of 7 during this "staffing crisis", and my observations simply do not square with all these wishful claims there is a pilot shortage.
1 out of 7? Whatever lets you sleep at night.
Its around 50% overall. They want guys who will stay for at least 2 years. Please work for at least one regional before you think you have a clue-Ive read yur threads before- Keep interviewing and stop making excuses for why you didnt get the job. Good luck man.
