1. I hope soon
2. Who knows
Final thought, this will change when it does, none of us control it, but what we can control is what we do with our spare time (that we have recieved). I choose to spend mine with a positive attitiude and telling my wife how much she means to me. Yes the state of the industry is very important, but never forget the most important thing is right under your nose....I lost a friend last month, and it brought me some perspective
Go tell your loved ones how important they are, you never know when it might be your last chance

Well it's obvious the regional I fly for will hire before any other regional....
I think there are many regionals that are in a position to expand once the industry picks up again. It all depends on how they weather the rest of the year things change so fast in this industry you just never know.

I would guess 2-3 years till you start to see growth again. Limited hiring for 2 years with more to come in the 3-5 year range when all the 65'ers finally leave.
As for hiring....regional....Well it better be Compass!!!
We are so short now it is crazy. We could hire 20-25 tomorrow and that might help if we stop losing people. But wait management would have to pull their head out to see that.
Today alone I saw 2 captain/captain crews because we have no FOs. Oh did I mention we have no captain reserves either all with 11-12 days off!
