Expect many more to be getting calls from reputable carriers soon. My airline has changed its hiring standards, others are too. The pendulum has swung.
Companies have done a lot more stupid things that cost them a lot more. I don't believe much that I hear but I also don't discredit it. I just personally hadn't heard of anyone until now. Agrees that companies may soon will be adjusting min quals to get candidates. SW dropping 737 and rumor is soon the 1000 TPIC, delta may drop the college degree requirement (pure speculation), FedEx dropped 1000 TPIC I believe as well.
