And I saw that we're offering positive space travel to/from home for the holidays. Two December classes this would benefit.
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!

If this is a serious question, its one of the dumbest in the history of aviation. If its an attempt at trolling, I'd give it a B- maybe.

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.
