The wave is definitely kicking on and people with marginally more time than 1000 turbine/2500 total time are actively receiving interviews and CJOs. An overwhelming majority of them are ULCC/LCC FOs from NK, F9, and B6, and probably 98% of the ones I personally know, are volunteering at organizations similar to the one I'm volunteering at. Don't shoot the messenger.

Most of us recognize our luck, my personal mentor had it easy and still did 6+ years at a regional + a stint at a ULCC. I wouldn't be in the positions I am (and I don't mean my flying job, but my volunteer "jobs") if I was some hot-shot know-nothing who thinks they're entitled the world. This **** is unfair and incredibly luck/timing based, best we can do is put our best feet forward and hope for the best. I'm happy to be flying my dream job and happier to be contributing to the success of others. Hopeful to bring that to UA someday.
