We are in the midst of a 5-year window where everyone is gaining experience due to essentially zero hiring anywhere.
Most RJ pilots today likely have as much or more experience in the 121 jet flying world than their counterparts did when hired in the 80s and 90s at their respective majors.
When (when, not if) the next hiring round occurs at the majors I suspect the aggregate experience of the candidates will be greater than it has ever been.
