I'm thinking most of this slowdown is due to the cancellation of the DHL runs. I wouldn't be surprised if the dust settles and semi-regular hiring resumes within a couple months, just my speculation.
As far as transitioning into turbine equipment, though, well, that might take a little longer for a while.

The only thing that the high turbine times will help with is if you stick around for a Metro or 1900, then they would help for the insurance requirements.

Upgrades are very slow, even for those willing to take outstations- you'd have to wait for everyone above you at base to decline. Oddly enough, a while back several were filled from outside PDX- no takers from the base, but that's likely changed now.
