SonicFlyer believes very strongly that we need to lower the standards and allow the pilot labor market to be flooded with new applicants. One look at Mesa's new TA shows why that is not a good idea.

Alpa is right. The pilot hiring market is competitive for the first time in forever, and the trash at RAA, their stooges, and management doesn’t like it.
“Whaddya mean? You’re quitting? How could you do this to us?”

BS.

Look at the number of ATPs issued in the last 10 years and you'll see your answer.
I guess it's cheaper to train people to fly a few hundred hours and watch them leave to an LCC and then park jets in the desert instead.

They refuse to do that so "pilot shortage".
