AWAC, I didn't take my ATP quickly enough and got bumped

what you trying to say? :D

Compass is definitely having no problems filling classes...there have been people in the pool since May that are just getting Sept classes.

Compass is having no issues whatsoever filling classes. We are actively interviewing, hiring and filling each and every class with no issue. People want to come to compass.

Lask SKW class had 34 people. Not sure what the target was, but I consider that pretty good.

It seems like everyone except Envoy is having no trouble what so ever. Some "pilot shortage" we've got here.

There is none; nor will there ever be one. There are enough CFIs, pipeline patrol, survey, skydiving and part 135 pilots in the hiring pool right now to fill every single slot at the regionals. This shortage issue is only a "shortage" of pilot applicants who have never busted a checkride or gotten a DUI charge on their record. Beyond that, there are more than enough pilot applicants for the regionals to hire. Which is exactly why the pay has not risen in the slightest. Why should it when there are so many pilots still applying?

Are guys getting hired with duis?

So to summarize this thread, the cheerleaders for each regional are saying the classes at their regionals are full.

Wouldnt it be better for everyone if the classes were empty? I mean am I the only one that thinks that way? Perhaps then management would raise pay to intise new blood.

Whatever, carry on

Yeah, I thought at the RAA convention they cited something like 13 out of 14 regionals were missing recruiting goals, and I believe it was Horizon who was hitting theirs. I come on here, and its all unicorns and rainbows just about everywhere apparently. I could see Compass getting an extra bump with the AA flying announcement, though.

ExpressJet is having no problems filling our classes of 0.
