And everyone I know that's seriously looking to jump to the majors has applied to all of them and updates their apps.
Personally I think the 14,000 pilot pool is getting smaller every year, and significantly so. With current hiring, the others (DAL, SWA, UAL, FDX, UPS) are draining that pool by about 2000-2500 pilots each year.

Settle down, boys.
There is not, nor will there ever be a shortage at mainline.
I know hundreds of people at my former regional who would jump all over an interview. Plus they sure don't have any trouble filling classes with top-shelf military pilots.
Even in a 'shortage' situation, legacies have far, far more applicants than they could ever need. Ten or fifteen thousand applications for maybe 300 OTS jobs.

Makes sense. Although a couple of months is well inside of the panic timeline for getting out. The question is, will it change? (Just out of curiosity, I guess.)
The military is becoming an extremely volatile place for pilots planning on separating - whether it's after initial commitment, or getting threatened with a 6 month or 1 year non-flying deployment to end a 24 year career, purely out of spite for getting out.
Meaning - dudes are starting to ditch the dream airline idea for whomever calls first, just so they can get a plan/path in place to enable them to hit "submit" on retirement or separation.
(My plan is already in place, albeit a ****ty one.)

I didn't get hired until 1 month before I went on terminal leave.

Interviewed 20 march, class date 11 Jul. My availability was asap. Super pumped, and not complaining.. but i was really surprised on the long wait. I accepted the class date but said i could start immediately if a slot opened up last minute. Any idea if that's a possibility? .. or should i get a job at subway?
Thx!
Thx!
