Many of my coworkers are millennials. They are showing up in suffcient numbers but perhaps not as much as in prior generations. Still, filling the ranks is a drop in the bucket. I think 135 and the bottom barrel 121 are the only ones feeling the pinch. Will that change? Anyone's guess. The regional hiring mania of 2014-2018 has seemed to cool off.
Classes are full, but the airlines aren’t growing. The sucking sound from the top is still in many cases almost more than they can hire.
