I haven't heard this. From what I've heard, scheduling will fly your @ss off, but once you get your 100 hours, they hardly use you at all until you get a line. A guy in my crash pad has only flown 20 hours in July. Also, if you look at most airlines, they have an average of 10 pilots per aircraft in the fleet. At Comair, we have 130ish planes and over 1600 pilots. I really don't think there's much of a staffing problem now.
