I agree that there isn't a shortage at the majors whatsoever. The regionals are obviously feeling it now. Maybe in five more years, it will domino to the majors, but there will always be military guys for the majors to choose from, so then again maybe not.
I wouldn't hire you based on that fact alone.
They'll tell you anything to get your money.
Look on the bright side, with all the other pilots in your regional leaving for the majors, you'll a top dog in seniority a lot sooner than you originally thought.
