churns out 1,000 airline pilots per year. In recent history, they almost exclusively went to the majors. Lots of those guys are staying in until this blows over, and the ones who are getting forced out are working desk jobs and staying current on the side. Once the regionals start hiring again, and especially if mainline hiring lags, you can believe that many of those dudes are going to be applying to the regionals in droves—thousands of them with thousands of hours of very high quality multi-engine turbine time.

Do not hedge your bets on getting a 121 interview in the next few years. Put all of your eggs in that basket at your peril.
