There likely isn't going to be an actual shortage of qualified pilots, at least not for quite some time (student pilot numbers are definitely decreasing). It's a matter of who is willing to fly for regional wages.
Lowering the mins like Eagle, AWAC, etc creates a bigger pool with more options to be weighed.

There are thousands of out of work pilots, and people with better than 800/100, but not many of them are willing to work for $25/hr at a regional and be based halfway across the country.
If I was furloughed today I couldnt afford to go back to the bottom of a Regional seniority list making 25k and being based across the country. I have invested too much and gotten too little of a return on that investment. It would be time to cut my losses and get a job outside the industry.

I applied about two week ago on airline apps...
How long after you guys applied did it take to get a call back?
I got 940 TT with 280 Multi and 121 experience...
The flight hours for airline apps is a pain in the butt. My total PIC time is off by like 20 because of the way they ask to input PIC time, that being time basically solo. I couldnt find the discrepancy anywhere in my log book. Very confusing... Is this something, if i did get the call, that they would care about in the interview?

I got interviewed on Jan 24, 2011 with 930TT AND 108ME, CFI, CFII, MEI, Recommendation Letter, ERAU Bridge Program, and only part 91 experience and got a Pre-Offer of employment.
When I applied through AirlineApps, it took Eagle three days to send me an e-mail to schedule the interview. As far as the PIC time goes I had the same problem. My AirlineApps PIC time was around 50hrs less than my logbook. The best advice I can give is to make sure you e-mail Vicky Austin 2 weeks prior to the interview regarding any discrepancies to make sure everything goes smooth on the interview.
Good luck to all!
