Regionals Still Recruiting
My college is hosting a career day in November, and three regionals are bringing their recruiters and recruiting toys: Endeavor, Republic, and PSA.
In this environment, especially with 700 furloughs at PSA, I’m dumbfounded that money is being spent on recruiting.

They still have to build relationships. The recruitment employees are still on the payroll. The tickets cost next to nothing. They already had all the supplies. That leaves get the rental car. It costs next to nothing to continue building relationships with college kids when the majority won’t be ready in the next 12 months.

So ask them that. Ask them what their priorities are moving forward. Do your research, ask Republic why anyone should chose them when they can’t seem to protect the flying they do and have to close bases and move further east. Ask PSA why they’re spending money on recruiting future pilots while they have furloughed pilots on the street. You’re interviewing them, too. You’re allowed to ask the recruiters these questions.

In this climate I wouldn't, if you're actively looking for a regional job. They are going to be able to be selective for a while, and CFI's who throw darts at big-picture business strategy won't get on the short list. You can ask about anticipated upgrade times, pool time, etc.
Some regionals seem to feel that the entry-level pilot shortage will pick back up sooner rather than later, and they're probably correct. Regionals historically recover faster than mainline, and a lot of people considering or currently in the training pipeline have bailed permanently.
