Exactly, pilot shortage? Yeah, I don't think so.

I think what you meant to say is the regionals have more unemployable rejects than mainline(s) want in total pilots.

I don't think Rick has 2 full years in the industry yet. I'm pretty sure Eagle is his first airline gig.

To be honest they really do not have too much current insight... (yours may be different) Mine asks me for whats going on at his own company. Good info yes but a little out of touch at times. Better just to use your own experience almost.
