True. And it's a bit of a generalization, but still valid. Depending on the type of 91/135 gig, they can be reluctant to hire someone if they get even the littlest whiff that they'll sprint in a fashion that would leave even Usain Bolt in envy.

Again, depends on the type of gig.

I would get on a regional and tread water..

I know a guy that's an FO at SKYW.. He has been there about a year. He is still part time with the 466th at Hill and got out of active as an O6. He went to the regionals with like 3200 hours in the Viper and some sparkvark time too.

He already has an interview at DL basically waiting for him when the time comes.

Must be type-rated,current and have 500+ hours PIC in type don't seem to be indicative of floodgates or the mythical LOOMING:eek: pilot shortage.

Pilot Analyst just posted that his data disproves the "pilot shortage" rumor. I would love to send his research to my former college professors. They use electronic media to promote the pilot shortage almost every day. Like a bunch of parrots.
