The talk of a future pilot hiring boom has been around forever. There have surely been some boom years for the majors (1998-2000) but by and large it has always been cyclical. What’s worse is that now with the commuters getting so large there will never be shortage of pilots for the majors; any pilot shortage will be mostly in the commuters and mostly in the right seat.
The talk of a future pilot hiring boom reminds me of a sign you see in some bars "Free beer tomorrow." As CCR said "tomorrow never comes."
