I jumpseat on American Eagle, SkyWest, Compass & Mesaba, and the stories are all the same: they can't fill their classes with enough new hires, and crews are getting lots of extra pay due to overtime required to offset the shortage of crews. I'm told that the companies are canceling some flights as a result. The pilot shortage is now real at the regionals, and regional flying will shrink as every major airline & cargo company hires next year.

MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION .... where will the captains come from.... Majors & international airlines (Emirates & Qatar & Singapore) will take the all the captains who want to go first, then the super senior co-pilots, NEXT, in the 1-2 years to come, all the co-pilots the reagionals are hiring today & training .......
How will ameriflight & others like them find their guys......???

So each month I take home a grand total of roughly 2500=slow month to 3500=good month. Thats 30,000yr to 42,000yr. On 1st yr FO pay. Where does a starting Mcdonalds employee make that????
