For 2008 new-hires...
Plan on flying very little this year at the regionals.
Reserve times at most companies are getting longer due to the slowdown in movement.
If you are a low time pilot that is "lucky" enough to get hired this year, ask yourself how will you feel a year from now when you only added 200 to 300 hours to your logbook, while the "unlucky" pilot that did not get hired builds time faster, probably got paid better, and slept in his/her house every night.
Just something to consider.
