Seems like most hiring is kind of lateral where you are just so sick of where you are, you will go anywhere. All set going to places with busted pilot groups or to fly another RJ somewhere else.

I have yet to speak with anyone that flys an RJ that got a call from United. Seems like they are picking guys that have been to outer-space and on posters for the military.
Not true at all. I have 4 buddies who have gotten calls, one was a JBlue F/O, he is in class now, one female gal who started class a month or two ago, one F/O friend of mine (XJT) who interviewed Tuesday along with a buddy XJT CA of mine same day. Calls are absolutely going out and they are nowhere near astronaut posterboys, lol.

Ditto here, I've heard from several L-ASA and L-XJT Captains and FOs that have gotten calls for interview.

Well, at some point delta will run out of pilots... So will XJT. this summer is going to be awful. Pilots leaving left and right, mostly captains. In the next two months, those in the bottom half of the master list (at least on the CRJ side) will see more movement. Of course they would never upgrade anyone. There will be a lot of cancellations and delays this summer due to lack of captains.
