I've also heard rumors of some US ME3 pilots not having much luck getting hired by legacies, not sure why. Maybe just rumor.

So what, maybe 5000 current regional pilots aren't hireable or don't want to leave.

The ME3 are kind of being painted as "the bad guys" right now especially after the "Our Future Our Fight" thing Delta put out. I suppose that flying for them could be construed as supporting the enemy?
Not trying to offend anyone or start a fight with that comment, its just my two cents on the matter.

I'd rather have a guy with international heavy time and a type over a sex changed tree hugger up front but the HR types don't see it that way.... Yet
