Okay, let me walk you through this one more time. The regionals are falling apart because every other airline that's a step up from regionals is hiring their pilots.
Once the regionals are fully picked over, LUV + UPS + FedEx + the legacy carriers are going to be looking for pilots. They will offer a bunch of ULCC pilots (who have apps in) interviews. Most of them will be hired.
News flash: this is already happening at the ULCCs.
You need to move from the third stage to the fourth stage of grief on this because the big 6 are going to be hiring not only to replace retirements but also for growth. And that hiring's going to happen for a long time.
