The point is that if PSA was such a great airline to work for, no one would have to come on an aviation internet forum and "tell" us. The pilot community is incredibly small. We'd already know. It's not proactive. It's desperate. It's a "let's do every possible thing we can to convince people to come fly for us EXCEPT pay a living wage and treat our pilots well" type of thing.
And there isn't much difference between what PSA is doing here and what Eagle is doing on FaceBook. They're desperate too.
Please don't compare yourself to engineers. Until recently all you needed to become a regional pilot was 6 months at ALL ATPS and a high school diploma. You'll be hard pressed to find an engineer with anything less than a masters and years of experience in their field. My cousin was offered a job with google a few years ago starting at over 300k/year! He turned it down because they wouldn't let him work from home. So no, google doesn't advertise job openings on forums, but no regional is google, and you're not a google engineer.
