Qualified vs competent candidates is not the same. I don’t know how big that gap is, because I’m not on the hiring team. What I do know is that I received multiple interviews at ATP mins, so I lean towards the idea that the supply vs demand isn’t as bad as we think.
If someone has intel from a hiring manager, I’m all ears.
What about the Regionals stated below forcing new hires to sign 5+ year contracts?
SkyWest, Republic, and I believe
GoBlowJet aren’t having any issues finding talented pilots.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the pay rates decrease significantly when your current rates expire. You can get paid less at an AA WO with a guaranteed job at AA or sign a contract with the other regionals preventing you from being hired at a Legacy for years—Pick your poison.
