Anyone already at the airlines with insights about the projected impact at your company would be great. Although the dynamics are changing so rapidly, at this point, who really knows the ramifications, tomorrow, in a week, in 2021...
I would think you may want to get in sooner rather than later. One of the more likely impacts of this at the regional level is a drop off in hiring. Some of the more well staffed airlines may even suspend hiring at some point as their attrition slows due to lack of hiring at the next level. In other words, delay your interview and you run a decent chance of not being invited back for some time.
