121 furloughs are going to be deep and recalls won’t happens for at least 18mo. If you think a 135 pax operator is going to hire a piston pilot with 135IFR mins over an ATP turbine pilot just because they are afraid the pilot may leave in a year your need to get on oxygen. Boutique isn’t a career operator they know they are a stepping stone employer. They even rolled their CA pay back to $35K/year. That’s not something a company does to retain pilots long term.
6mo go aviation was a min requirement job market, it’s not any longer and won’t be again for a few years.
Sure the small mom and pop charter 135’s won’t touch the airline guys, for fear they will leave. But the bigger operators, want the more experienced pilots.
