Yes. And the majors just aren't calling. Lots of pilots with thousands of jet, Part 121 hours as well as corporate/135 jet guys. A few former captains. Friends who were hired recently at Trans and XJT had similar class profiles. If this is who shows up for "hard to fill" classes, I don't think any of the regionals are going to be too worried.
It seems like all of the "good luck finding pilots" talk on these boards is a little overblown at the moment. Things could change, but HR departments probably aren't on high alert just yet.
