Like has been said, many of the regionals were hiring in the mid 90's, at the legacies it was still a slow trickle.
Oh.....absolutely. I didn't mean to imply otherwise. I actually don't know if legacy hiring was at a trickle back then or not. It seems that UNtied was the hot spot then that everyone was trying to get on with and they had that computer graded sim profile that was knocking a lot of people around. Then I'd say that American seemed to be the next most popular and Delta after that. Quite a few were going to FedEx too - but the cargo carreirs were looked down upon I remember. I've mentioned it before about the AIR INC magazine cover and article that compared the two and without being blatant about it - suggested that if a pilot had offers from both United and FedEx - that they would be better off with a career at the pax carrier rahter than the cargo carrier.
