Last week a buddy of mine works at Transpac and he told me they needed 30 instructors hired in 4 days to make the quota of new students coming over....
I have 1300 hours I'm still instructing ( at a school with many foreign students) and I should be able to interview somewhere by the end of the year. But honestly I might just stay and see what happens with all these regionals combining and not to mention new work rules.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?!!!!

Doesn't anybody read my signature? There were 8,651 NEW commercials issued last year. Where does this *nonsense* come from?

Those numbers were for the one FSDO I'm sure. On the other hand I would say 80% or better of those almost 9000 issued last year are not staying in the US. Almost every big school still in business is full of non US citizens.

I still really believe at this point in time our pilot pipeline has changed from an absolute *glut* of pilots to a more....shall we say reasonable amount?

Congress passed a law requiring all 121 pilots to hold an ATP. That's a done deal starting August 2. They also said the FAA can change the reguirements to get an ATP. The FAA has floated a NPRM about that but nothing final.

Ok folks, 2013 data is out. I posted (some) 2012 data to the right for comparison. Sorry about the look of my post. Feel free to look this up yourself to make sure what I am seeing is accurate;
Original Certificates issued,
Year 2013.....................2012
Student---- 49,566 ...... .............54,370
Recreational---- 54
Sport---- 420
Private ---- 15,776 .................... 16,571
Commercial---- 8,140 .................... 8,651
ATP---- 8,346 .....................6,396
Rotorcraft---- 2,888
Glider ---- 163
CFI ---- 3,723 ................. ...4,116
Instrument ---- 9,318 .....................9,643
P.S. I was wrong in my prediction that there would be more commercials issued in 2013 than in 2012.
