Did you just say AE's hiring process should reflect Southwest's ? Maybe AE and the rest of the regionals should pay a respectable salary and then maybe they will get the caliber of pilots they "require".

AE will be knocked off their high horse as soon as the other's start hiring, when all the "desirable" folks in the pool are mysteriously gone.

they won't hire them if they won't apply but since they did they tacitly agreed to work at the advertised rate of pay. Now, I agree that if they could not get apps at this rate they would have to make adjustments but we call this the free market and employment at will.

I'm fortunate enough to start class this Monday. Was told 9 ERJ 2 ATR 1 CRJ slot yesterday. But who knows this could change. I'm crossing my fingers for the ERJ but will appreciate any of them. Interviewed mid-Jan. I'm looking forward to the training grind but most of all flying again!!

Congrats! Training is pretty intense at the schoolhouse, but in a good way. Hoping for any base in particular? Welcome aboard!

of course what I meant to communicate was that a rejection letter to a qualified pilot is too final. trying to hire the most experienced could backfire because in short order, most likely after gainining currency, they will be gone. Keeping the less experienced though qualified in a pool until the stellar supply dries up would be wiser.imo.
