Just not seeing the hiring. The lost decade is a thing for regional pilots and the hiring process just doesn't make sense most days.
And I don't know how to quote 2 separate posts and didn't want to spam up this thread anymore or get off topic, so for Rick......yes you are probably correct in the long term
Hang in there! I know it sucks, I’ve been there. Not long ago I was in your shoes, and extremely frustrated. But I kept plugging away, doing what I could within reason. Then all of a sudden the door cracked open, and I FINALLY got a couple of interviews. That turned into a couple of offers with legacy airlines (without being a checkairman and no military experience). I also had a lot of SIC time due to the long upgrade times at my regional from the bad old days.
I always hated it when people told me my time would come and to be patient, but it really is true!
