I would bet my next paycheck that you are wrong. As long as the majors are the top paying airlines, they will get thousands of applicants and have their pick of who they want to hire. Which is good! I want my major airline to be selective in who they hire. It's the beauty about paying people more than most other companies. You get to be selective in who you hire. The legacy airlines have never ran out of applicants, and I don't see it happening, certainly not with 20,000+ regional pilots to feed them.
