A guy from my airline hired at DAL/AA/UAL...so 2 of them are getting a no show phone call. Another guy left UAL groundschool after INDOC to go to DAL.

Two chinese airlines in the past few months are now hiring Expat FOs. China has NEVER hired any expat FOs before. Emirates does a Road Show for new pilots in Singapore...no one shows up. New airlines starting in China. New mainline routes in China. New regional routes in China. New airports in China. LCC in Asia (outside of China/ME) have 1000 aircraft on order.

DAL capt told me DAL hiring is bringing in more guys than they need...they are trying to get guys now that would have gone to UAL/AA. DAL's plan is to have those guys now, and keep them, which will hurt UAL/AA down the road when the shortage gets even worse.
Etc., etc., etc.
