rickair777,
I’m probably a bit jaded from too many predictions of pilot hiring being a vertical upward curve to be taken in. Yes, it looks great today—retirements spread over a decade, fewer starts, a drawn down military force. What could possibly go wrong?
That said, in my day part-time job, I’m seeing charter operators with very low time co-pilots, fewer resumes with anything like decent experience. Maybe this time.
