They are getting more and more desperate for pilots, and have been lowering there mins over and over again. Qatar just lowered their mins again, and they are accepting DECs (Direct Entry Captains).

Atlas just lowered their mins by quite a bit.

Atlas just added more 747s, as did Evergreen, Kalitta, National, Cathay, Southern is adding -777s, and may get 747-400s, etc., etc.
