You never know what they are after. Maybe they want pilots with low experience, rather than a spoiled airline pilots.
The truth is that my buddy American Airlines Junior FO (former Regional check airmen and Captain) 6000h tt and myself 2400h tt, regional FO are applying for this job. It is a sad time for our industry and we will all have to endure it together. I want to believe better times are coming.
Hang in there guys!
