Some good companies are starting to have trouble finding pilots meeting minimums. Companies that aren't really good to employees are having a lot of trouble replacing attrition, let alone any trying to expand.
We are losing a pilot a week right now... and at the size of our company, that is a VERY high turnover.

I know a guy at Mesa and he said they cannot find near enough people to even interview. With their reputation even the NewBees are getting the picture. American Eagle is struggling as are so many regionals. May'be a livable wage and descent working conditions are around the corner for those regional guys/gals.
I had an unbelievable experience at Mesa. If you are military or have any family members in the military, stay away from MESA they don't respect your situation!
Another friend of mine works for Empire in the ATR42 and he said the pilots are very unhappy with the current conditions. He is about to go back to flying a six in AK. I can't blame him, I love flying low and slow in AK! It's the best!
