the majors are reaching a desperation level? what? youre joking right? if they cut their pay AGAIN youd still see a giant stack of resumes at every major... just look at united when they starting hiring again this past fall. absolutely pitiful place to work yet they got thousands upon thousands of resumes for what, 150 new hire slots or so?
the reason many majors have relaxed requirements is so that certain people can get in (fighter pilots, relatives, and people who might somehow get preferential treatment). its been like this for decades

Delta has never had a PIC requirement, even before sept 11
BUT ..... I'm with a regional now, 3 years FO corporate, 3 years FO at this regional, college intern with delta, delta legacy....well quilified....they called and told me they wanted PIC time to give me an interview.
so comes the waiting of the upgrade.....

If the Majors were at the desperation level as you speak every Regional guy with 1500/1000 would be going to CAL and since I exceed Delta's requirement of 1200/1000 I should be starting there in a week.

Severely ill-informed. Delta's mins are the same they have always been (even when fedex, ups, and swa guys were trying to get on here. as resent as 2001) and not the result of your improperly perceived "desperation". The average new hire of late had 6000+ tt and 2500+ pic and there are over 12,000 apps on file.

I have to disagree 100% with your statement that the Majors are at the same state of crisis in regards to hiring as the Regionals are. "Relaxing" requirements is one thing, we all knew that this time in avation was on its way, but it is in no comparison to the Regional crisis where many airlines can not even find candidates with the basic minimum requirements.
If the Majors were at the desperation level as you speak every Regional guy with 1500/1000 would be going to CAL and since I exceed Delta's requirement of 1200/1000 I should be starting there in a week.

I didn't mention CAL because I don't know what their mindset is at CAL. I mentioned UAL since my wife works in the recruiting dept. and I've spoken not only with her but others higher up who's sentiments are that the relaxing of requirements at UAL is directly related to the fact that they aren't getting the numbers they need. You can disagree all you want and I respect that.
