That’s a bit of an exaggeration. There are only about 575 pilots total.

Aircraft assignment
Can any active or new hire guys say what aircraft new hires are getting? Some posts in other threads were saying they were only placing guys in the Phenom. Was wondering if anyone recently hired was placed into the challenger or legacy.

Really can't say what is going on here. They have new hires going into the Challengers and Legacys while there are SICs in the Phenom that can't bit out of the plane to make more money. A bid was announced for Phenom 300 SICs, but the fleet is over 60 pilots short. Green airplanes sit for weeks with no crews. If you need to build jet time and get a free type for low pay, this is the position for you! Also you will get good at calculating 10(Flight hours) in 24. Expect to fly 600 hours/year.

At this point in my career I have a strong interest in corporate or private flying. After 11 years at a regional with not much jet PIC, my options are very limited.
