The vast majority of region flying will return to the legacy carriers. As the hundreds of 50 seat jets are parked and the legacy carriers hiring makes it impossible for many regionals to meet their committed flying.
A win for everyone.
A win for everyone.

Except the RJ guys who lose their jobs. Everyone seems to think they'll automatically get a mainline job. In actuality, its MAYBE a 10% shot at best.
It sounds good that DAL is hiring 600 pilots next year. How many apps? 10,000? That's a 6% shot.
UCAL/AA the same number? That's an 18% shot.
Ask yourself this...would you go all-in in a poker tourney if you only had a 6% shot at getting the card you need?

Those odds get better as time goes on and pilots retire; and the fact of the matter is that quite a few started this 'career' looking at odds even lower than the ones you state.
Amway would be proud.......

I'm not an optimist but this is math.

And, thus, we have the problem of too many pilots chasing too few jobs. The 10,000 app answer was the same in 1984, "we have to get hired, they'll run out of pilots". No matter how you slice it, a thin minority, 15% at most, will get mainline legacy jobs. Look who is getting hired now--flows and ex-mil guys with beaucoup squares filled--SQ DO, safety, IP/SEFEs. I've been around since the '70s, it's a small group that gets hired at majors, the rest fly at regionals, corporates, freight ( not FDX, UPS, either).
