Combine this with several hundred pilots far more qualified than PSA pilots that are entering the job market. Military pilots, for one, but also the involuntarily displaced (FedEx, Spirit, JetBlue, etc...). These will be the first ones hired once things start back up again, not regional pilots.

The big wave has past and we are left with the downturn on the backside. There will be a few more swells after this, but it won't be like this big wave again.
