It's news to me that anyone is hiring in the first place. But to answer your question, yes it probably has alot to do with the crash. The other is that thing known as supply vs. demand. The point I alluded to in my first sentence means that if so few carriers are actively hiring then, those that are can be more choosy and, thus raise minimum requirements.
