Regional Hiring on Temporary Hold?
Heard through the grape vine that since the election is over, some regional's are halting hiring until an assessment of the next economic state is complete? Thoughts?

Yeah, they are trying to figure out who the morons who were shouting "Trump Train" on guard all day yesterday are so they can be fired. Expect hiring to pick up.

If anything you're going to start seeing airlines hire even more. Fall/Winter is when a lot of people leave. At my airline 30-40 guys were expected to leave next month.

Endeavor has interviews scheduled for throughout the holidays

I met one of the VPs walking back from lunch and asked how 2017 hiring forecast looked. He told me they're looking to hire another 550-600 pilots next year, so better get in now to build that instant seniority. If you need a referral, happy to share my insight and experience. Safe to say I've made the right choice! |

The only place that shows basically no interest in hiring that I've heard of was ExpressJet. They are just letting it wilt while picking the fruit for SkyWest.

I would say not at this time, nothing has really happened yet. If the new president in any way starts screwing with the economy, ripping up trade deals, etc., then we could see some slowdown in hiring at all carriers. Remember just how sensitive our industry is to business travel and bumps in the economy. If the "anti-regulation" president decides to roll back on: age 65, FAR 117, ATP rule, we could definitely also see a slowdown in hiring. A rollback of the ATP rule would certainly also rollback all of the new regional bonuses and compensation gains we have recently seen-supply and demand.
You can bet that the airlines will be knocking on doors to get regulation relief now that they have a more "business friendly" administration. The new president is also not union friendly. Any small chance of a strike before is certainly impossible now. Even if approved, he'd certainly order pilots back to work as other presidents have. But I'm sure all in this industry who voted for him thought about all this before they cast their ballot. We'll just have to see what happens in a year or so. |

Monitoring guard has become quite embarrassing (not because of the Trump Train) |

Not true at all. We could take 50 per month.
If you post the wrong info, I will post the seniority lists for you. Please be accurate to the people looking for jobs and don't lie. |
I would think hiring would pick up now that Clinton can't start a nuclear war with the Russians...:D

Exacty but us genius pilots always vote for Presidents that go against our best interests. We forget that we belong to a union work force and like to vote the anti union white guy in office. |

We had a virtual zero chance of striking before. A zero chance now isn't a big deal to me. What is is the fact that a President Trump is 100 times better than a President Clinton (another one). This economy needs some real growth, not the same old tired policies that give anemic growth at best. We may be a union dominated industry and he may be anti-union but this job is not all I am. I fully believe he will provide a much better outcome than Hillary would have and that Obama has. What does Trump being white man have to do with it, by the way? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
edited; decided to leave politics out of a hiring thread.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't hiring usually slow over the holidays? Training dept instructors want the holidays off, newhires will usually wait until an early January class date, understaffed companies might rather put instructors online to help with staffing during a high volume time, etc. For example, my company has only run one December newhire class the past two years, instead of the normal two per month.

They announced today that their maintenance facility in SHV is closing. Happy Holidays. |
They will have very rapid rate of attrition if they close EWR. Many people live in Jersey, Allentown, NY etc. I know I would never commute to any other base.

I'm quite sure that company seniority lists are not to be posted publicly. I wouldn't be surprised if posting one would result in a law suit for you, as well as an inability to ever be hired anywhere else ever again. Don't be foolish. |

For the record, and you can search my entire post history if you are that bored, I tell people looking for a job in the regional industry that in my OPINION, driving to work is the number 1 criteria for selecting a regional airline. This is because, from my observation, quality of life appears to be most important for most people. I still maintain that position, but it is an OPINION. |

I said we could take 50 per month, which is 100% true. Don't be one of those tools who tries to twist what other people say. The OP was asking if Regionals were going to suspend hiring. My "50 per month" statement was in response to that. It is accurate. The size of our seniority list and whether it is shrinking wasn't the question. Our current high attrition is one reason why we could take 50 a month. I did not lie.

The responses that you seem to be upset with are the ones that just called you out on something that you said was wrong. Skywest is not allowing XJT to hire. XJT will not offer enough money to hire anyone because of Skypest. When you insinuate that XJT is hiring 50 a month, people are going to correct you. XJT is putting on a show for their current employees that they are attempting to hire. FYI, seniority lists are not SSI. |
