[QUOTE=Braniff DC8;2104163]I'm honestly wondering where all the regionals are finding people? It wasn't even this good back in the 80s and 90s and it was pretty damn good. You would not be anywhere near a jet though. You'd be really stoked if you got the Shorts 360 in class as you could stand up, had a lav AND get this-in a damn turboprop, a flight attendant! I was beside myself after flying a Metro that I got a wide body! Jets were not even conceivable to me back then. How times have changed.
I think that whole "pilot shortage" just made for good headlines. If PSA is getting 17 new hires for $24 per hour there's obviously plenty of pilots.
