I agree. It was just the point that there's Euro pilots looking for jobs, that have the time and ability to work/abode in the U.S.
But honestly, they're not that different than the already recycled regional pilots taking a job for currency, or the mil pilots that are taking the job for currency. The regional has ZERO reservation hiring them either. They simply need 1500+ hour bodies.

Agree.

Agree again, I highly doubt it's "droves". And again, it's not the 90's. But the jobs are here, for now. As well as the opportunity, for now.
