While I try to stay positive, I'm keeping expectations low in this current enviroment. Some people will argue the market today is still better than it was pre COVID. I'm not entirely sure if I agree with that or not. It is a little more tough for CFIs trying to join the 121 world. I hit mins 6 months ago, still waiting to start somewhere. I got my start date pushed at PSA 3 times before I finally gave up with them. Still have the CJO there, but I have not heard much from them. They cite a CA shortage as the reasons for their woes.

I interviewed at ENY last month, and have orientation 4/11. Fingers crossed that sticks. I've been burned before, just hope it doesn't happen again. Envoy seems more serious about starting FOs. I don't have the numbers, but people have claimed Envoy has a CA surplus. That there alone is an advantage they have over other regionals right now. With the majors slowing down, you'll see some CA upgrades and rentention as well which will help. Fingers crossed furloughed NK pilots don't come for our jobs! /s
