The regionals JUST started hiring again after almost 3 years of cutting capacity, furloughing, no hiring at all levels etc. etc. 3 years worth of CFIs, and new CPLs issued of kids dieing to get into the regionals.. on top of the ones who didn't make it in the last wave, or started training in that time.
Some places haven't even brought their furloughs back yet.
And ALREADY there are talks on here about a pilot shortage.. oo yea... it's coming..... really this time... not like last time... or the time before that time..
Bring yourselves back down to earth.
