Maybe but that depends on oil and the economy...
Borrowing a page from Homeland Security, here's a color-coded economic threat indicator:
Green: Oil < $90
Yellow: Oil $90-130
Orange: Oil $130-150
Red: Oil > $ 150
Also while bottom-feeder regionals may drop their hiring standards to nothing, that does not guarantee completion of training. I'm not sure it would be a good idea for someone with <1000 and multiple busts to even try 121 training...I wouldn't give him great odds of success at this point.
