Question about hiring trend
 

Alright guys. I need serious answers. I am a CFII and am thinking of going into the airlines now. i am 39 years old former police officer and National Guard officer.

What is the current hiring trend of airlines? I have read on here about stand stills. How accurate is this? Have the airlines stopped hiring? If they have How long is this expected to last? Thanks in advance

Really?
 

The trend is hiring has stopped, everyone is furloughing, majors are cutting capacity... seriously watch the news.

Its hard to believe you just asked that question. The good news is it will get better in the future...someday.

the nights always the darkest before dawn, and its pretty dark right now... so i think dawns right around the corner

If you can’t find your answer in the regional section, then just take a gander around the major section. Every other post is about a furlough. :(

did you just watch the new batman?

I agree... Seriously?

Thanks guys. Duidnt really need the judgement posts. Just asking a question. if it offends you then please dont respnd to it.

Don't mind the childish, Mr. Obvious posts...

The regional hiring trend has come to a hault, no doubt. However, freight and part 135 flying are still actively hiring. If you want to work as a professional pilot, don't let regional airlines not hiring stop you. There are other options.

Not trying to sound off as a jerk, but as an instructor you preach and teach situational awareness. If you are seriously considering moving from the instructional world to 121 world always besure to take a look around at ther airlilnes in general. Even just looking in the newspaper, most airlines are talking about furloughs.

There are a bunch of good sources on this site in the airlines profiles pages and they will tell you tons about the companies you may want to apply to most likely when the trend changes. When it comes to applying, do your research so that way you know which places may be best for you, your family, career, etc.
