With the new increase in pay they have had a better lot of higher time guys to pick from. A lot of guys in Anchorage and Palmer flying more for fun have decided to go fly for a living since you can make 65-70k first year. As well as having a lot of lower 48 CFI's close to 1000 hours so for now I think it will be hard for anyone under 6-800 hours to get a call. To many guys leaving once they get the hours so I think Erin is just frustrated with low time guys all together. They don't need FO's they need captains who will actually stick around for a bit and make them money. FO's hurt the bottom line and are there to help you build time to fly for them and not to fly to 1200 hours and bolt. Someone has to be there as a PIC in order for there to be low timers. That's the problem with most of the 135's right now. Kids show up and say they will stay after the company trains them but leave anyway and it leaves a sour taste for low time builders and makes it harder and harder for the next group of 200 hr wonders.
