Late 90's - 9/10/2001: Gangbusters
9/11/2001-2003: Dead.
2004-2005: Regionals picked up.
2005-2007: Gangbusters at the regionals, moderate hiring at the majors.
So what's your take on it rickair? I mean in terms of forecasting, when do you think that things will have bottomed out and we'll see a return to regionals hiring 15-25 pilots/mo. on a consistent basis?
I'm aware that one part of the economy affects another...and that it's not a simple solution, but just wanted to hear from some of you who are already out there on the front lines so to speak.
