while I’m not a big fan, even Kit Darby finally admitted that the demand is 10,000 pilots per year currently, while only 6,000 total new ATP’s are coming online each year, and not all are interested in 121.
sadly, ALPA National still has a legislative affairs chairman that insists there is no shortage.
when I say this time next year finishing probation will get you to a decent ACMI or a major... that’s the majors, not legacies. Places like Jetblue, Spirit, Frontier. 2-4 years will be legacy material. A 5.5-6 year flow will only be people with no degree, only want AA and are to lazy to fight for the front door..
