Oh wait, the sad but true news is that there is always someone willing to do the work for less money.

Default Xjet interview

I interviewed there last week. there was 24 people in my interview date and they took 3 of them. All had Turbine time and 135 expererience. None of the CFI's got offered the job. A very abrupt bout face in hireing considering I know several new hires there that got hired with less time then I have, but, that was six months ago. amazing how this industry can stop and turn on a dime!

It all depends on the day. One day last week, 7 out of 11 were hired and most were CFI's

You would have thought my new hire class was a CFI meeting.

And everyone in our class made it through..

Angela said "A Lot" but wouldn't give a number. But, i'm sure it shortening everyday by people deciding to go someone else instead of waiting.

Kinda what I was thinking. I guess we'll see what happens. If nothing else we'll be so short staffed by summer that I won't have to worry about that pesky free-time problem I have.

Additional proof that this so called "pilot shortage" doesn't exist.
