I think that’s what is ultimately behind a lot of the issues. Anytime you suggest another outfit, it’s either “they’ve got one foot in the grave” or “they’re interviewing for spring of 2025.” In my opinion the “regional pilot shortage” was grossly overstated and we’re entering the era of regional pilot glut. The reality is that many of the people coming through the typical 1500 hour channels are 23 years old, willing to work for nothing and accept very poor conditions just to say they’re a pilot on Tinder and get a shot at mainline. I think Envoy has clued into this, hence steering hiring towards the cadet program.
