Heard the same thing yesterday from a guy in training over there. They are telling SW new hires in class that the PIC requirements are being lowered because of the new realities of the marketplace. Majors are sucking up a lot of talent and the supply trend is worsening. A lot of quality right seaters in the military and commercial sector that are short of 1000 but have a ton of experience.
