This doesn’t surprise me. I have heard from a reliable source that we cannot fill our May classes. We are out of pilot recruits. Not kidding.
The shortage has finally reached the majors.

funny because I went to a recruiting event a few weeks ago shy of 1000 turbine and was told that was the only thing missing from my resume and once I had that I should hear something.

I think Horizon still does. But it is 1000 hours of turbine time, which includes turboprops. It doesn’t specifically say turbojet.

They are turning away good qualified candidates for unknown or ridiculous reasons, so it's partially on them as well.

All 3 legacies will be hiring 1,500 hour pilots by the end of the year.

Buddy in a recent class swears there was a guy with no turbine, just piston time. I wasn’t sure but with Frontier and maybe spirit as well hiring 1500 hr MEIs, and the fact that we’ve basically absorbed the majority of regional feed, it makes sense that we’ll hire those destined for the regionals over here now.

I’d say that’s a success in the grand scheme of things with respect to bringing RJ flying in house and getting rid of the regional model.
