Airline hiring is going up, up, up worldwide. As each month go by, the big overseas airlines (Qatar, Emirates, KAL, Chinese airlines) and the US regionals will get more and more desperate. In a year or so, it will make early 2008 look like a walk in the park for regional recruiters.
Flight/Duty/Rest changes, necessitating LOTS more regional pilots, will be in force prior to 1 Aug of next year.
