Reading the Eagle threads, it seems they are also having trouble filling classes but slowly getting that under control. I think this mini hiring sprint by Eagle kind of got Eagle's HR needing to play catch up. When things started, they wanted 50 in each class and the norm was around 15-20. It seems now that classes are starting to get up into the 40 range.
Just lurking in all the other airlines thread's, I would agree that most are having problem filling classes, yet are of no shortage of qualified applicants. I wonder where the hold up is?

I think eagle is a little picky, and yet needs pilots to fill class. 5 coworkers that I know had applied in eagle got turn down, one of them because he had 1 CFI failed check ride with previuos 121 experience, the other 2 had 3,000+ hours with ATP and the last 2 had CRJ/ERJ experience also got turn down.
On the other hand, RAH turn down a few, because of ATP certificate including my self regardless of 121 experience. Colgan won't even look at your app. if you have any FAA failed check ride and it's obvious they need to fill classes so bad, because every 2 or 3 days advertising on climbto3... web site.
The local flight school that in the past were pack of students, now is like a ghost place and on top of thet prices went up.

I think the 2 CRJs being parked is more related to that fact that eagle management was late in starting to train more CRJ crews. I think they sent LGA CA to CRJ class in June when the planes started flying in July, and have been trying to catch up ever since.

There will never be a shortage of qualified applicants for a well paying job.
There will however, exist a shortage of qualified applicants willing to work for $20000/year. The regionals are counting on people who can (and will) sleep in their parent's basements and sustain themselves on Ramen noodles. All to fly for less than the legal minimum wage.
