What is the driver behind all the regional hiring since the start of 2011? If the majors aren't hiring, and the 50 (or less) seaters are going away according to some threads, why are the regionals hiring hundreds each? I am not being sarcastic.

a lot of people simply getting out of flying and a lot of people going to airlines they ever planned to work at.... Kalitta, Atlas, etc...

Did either of you report the offending post - knowing that they were not in compliance with the TOS?
I didn't see it.

HMP - a hint for your future postings.
If you want your posts to remain up - don't quote something in your post that you think might be against the TOS and therefore deleted.
Your CASE didn't even make the docket!

Let me remind you:
Although the administrators and moderators of Airline Pilot Central Forums will attempt to keep all objectionable messages off this forum, it is impossible for us to review all messages.
I thank you for thinking that I must be the reincarnation of IC ALL - but I'm not I don't.

The real question you should be asking is how many of those students were US citizens who intend to work in the USA.

The mandatory retirement age was raised to 65 to align with ICAO Standards. It was going to happen. I don't see it being raised farther unless it happens elsewhere first.

Dude, trust me, I was only pointing it out to her in tongue in cheek. Toying with her since she's convinced you have a political bias. I personally couldn't care less about any of it. This is EXACTLY why I quit being a moderator at FI. I don't get paid to baby sit grown pilots who want to whine or complain due to either being too thin skinned, or the other end of the spectrum.

Q&A with Louis Smith? I thought he shut FAPA down over a decade ago, is he back selling snake oil?

I think you meant Lemmings. Lemurs would be awesome.

Not until next Christmas, actually. Age 65 kicked in on 12/14/07 and the first mandatory retirements will be 12/14/12.
