Here I sit with over 1000 hours and wondering what is going to happen with guys who are finishing school up in the next month or two. On top of all of the hiring freezes a surplus of 1000 hour CFI's that just got their bacholar degrees. I guess it wouldnt be aviation if it didnt keep you awake at night. . .

Eagle is still aggressively hiring, and so is Pinnacle and others. Just cast your resume out and see if you get any bites, then go from their. Don't wait long though, because mins may increase in the near future as rickair7777 stated.

Word today in my ground school here today at PSA is no new ground schools until June...There is only one person in my class that is under 1000 hrs! Food for thought
I do believe that this is mainly due to sim backup though so don't lose hope...

yeh, have a friend at PSA right now and he's got a nice month paid vacation before starting sim, not to bad, unfortunately for him, he's going to be on the backside of the hiring wave, at least for the time being.
I also believe that minimums will come back up, at least competitive minimums. I doubt you'll see companies change the policies overnight to 1000/100, however, when everyone who comes in has 400-600 hrs, and 25-70 multi, i'm sure the hire time pilots will be picked first, If the airlines are able to fill the classes they need, then there's no need to be looking at a guy with 350 hrs, unless theres just no-one else available....which i believe , there will be.

PCL only hires guys with less then 1000TT if you came from one of those CRJ programs... had a buddy I tried to get in and HR told me if he goes to ATP and spends 5000K on a CRJ program he's in for an interview, otherwise is 1000TT.
That was the first and last time I try to help this Sh&% hole find pilots...
