Currently, they seem to favor hiring R-ATP pilots. Similar to what the regionals do… and to some degree the LCC’s…. Just like it’s been since the beginning of time…. No shortage of low time, fresh out of flight school pilots.
Considering how throttled back the FO hiring currently is at the regionals, they probably have tons of applications to choose from.
