A year ago Bedford was claiming there would be a surplus of 3,000 pilots.
Regional Airlines' Pilot Shortage is Heading Toward the Perfect Storm ? Skift
Even Kit Darby agrees! Quotes by both are near the end. You have to agree with what they say because it does seem swapping 50 seaters for 70 is what is really going on..

Anybody with half a brain should know that Rev. Bedford's statement about 'trying to pay his pilots more, but they said no' doesn't pass the smell test. That's because it's a half-truth,.....or a I like to refer to half-truths,.....a lie.
He wanted to pay just enough to make it easier for HIM!,......... because it's all about HIM.

This caught my eye from JO, there's no way this is accurate.
"Its first officers average $45,000 a year and its captains $96,000"
Also this was just a moronic statement;
"In colorful words, Ornstein blamed Washington, and particularly Congress, for the current pilot situation, noting that young American pilots are going to Europe to fly where 250 hours in the right seat is not a problem. “There is no correlation to safety,” he said of the FAA’s 1,500-hour rule. Without change, the regionals are in trouble, “I’m afraid the whole industry dries up,” he said. That will have an effect on aircraft makers Bombardier and Embraer as well, he added"

I applied for a few corporate jet jobs. I interviewed with a company offering 70k to 90k for a Legacy captain. I told them thanks but no thanks. I make more than that at my lowly regional. I wouldn't mind a part 91 or 135 gig. The money would have to be right and I also don't feel like job hunting every 2 or 3 years. I know there are good giggs out there. They just seem even more elusive than a major airline job.
