We all know the regional airlines will have a hard time finding pilots, but what about the majors?

Who will the majors hire without hurting their own operation due to canceled flights by their regional partners if they can't staff their planes?

If the majors hire hundreds from their code share regional partners, will that have a negative effect on their very own operation if their customers who are flying the express brands are inconvenienced because flights can't be staffed due to the vacuum created by retirements?

Do you think the legacy carriers will look more to pursue pilots from Spirit, JetBlue, Virgin, Frontier, and Alligiant who all have Airbus type rated pilots and will not have a negative affect on their express operation?

Do you think the planners at the legacies are already thinking about this? Some of my friends at my current regional are certain that our management is telling our legacy partners not to hire us.

Thoughts?

Cheers!!
