1. Where can you live in base? And if you can't,

2. Where can you have a 1 leg commute with several options?

Answering those questions truthfully will have the biggest impact on your experience at a regional airline.

There is nothing more to take from your post. You are talking about something that happened 15 years ago. Everything is different today. Do you really think people aren't trying to leave this place? Everyone is, people aren't just getting a call.

AWA is not going to double in size in a year. Check back here in 12 months and see where you are on the list.

I don't think it's too outrageous to see 650 pilots on the list come February. Applications and quality of the applicants have gone way up. I believe we have 50 new hires in or about to be in training. Maybe someone upgrades in 2 years, maybe not. Either way it's a good time to get hired.

Every regional of the month has a hiring bump when they offer something fresh. Seen it at PDT, PSA, C5, 9E, etc.

The biggest thing is how can they continue to keep numbers high over time when others have matched and the shine wears off. For 9E, it's been continual improvements to keep hiring going, but it does come in waves.

This weeks hot girl doesn't always stay that way.

Any improvement for one RJ is good for everybody across the board, let's see the bar raised higher again.

Exactly, and seeing how horribly reactive the company has been, the bubble is going to pop and they'll somehow be surprised. Or no more retention bonus and people start leaving again for the LCC Bus operators because it's still a step up in experience, and they actually treat you like a person.

The company continues to do as little as possible to get people all while treating existing employees like crap to get the flying done because they're too cheap to do what everyone else is to retain and hire pilots.
