Now China recruits pilots in high schools. You need a HS Diploma, and no PPL. Chinese airline/operator hired you, paid you, paid for your room and board, and paid for your pvt/comm/inst/mel...and then put you in a 777/Lear60.

Small update

Got hired on the shuttle side started in the January class and we have 21 FO new hires about 7 of us are former comair/pinnacle/ furloughed people including myself. Around the training house in IND it's Crazy busy and most classes have 12 to 15 people it seems on all certificate classes. So far RAH doesn't seem to a pilot hiring problem yet. I'd estimate about 60 to 70 pilots hired in January alone.... As far as basing goes who knows there is a lot of movement in all bases right now. I'd say if your looking for your first 121 gig and don't want reserve get on now!!!...

When the words "About average" and "11%" growth disappear from the Bureau of Labor and Statistics report for the next 7 years, I'll start lending the hoots and hollers about serviceable pilot shortages some credence.

Yup. Those added jobs in the next ten years. 10,000 or 4,000 (depending on which segment) are in addition to the 20,000 retirements.

Are we pilots starting to feel rather bullish?

Help a newbie understand this. Why such a variance with the figures? Eagle has higher number. Does this mean Eagle airplanes fly longer days? Or pilots work less hours so they need more pilots per plane? Or?

That will change once the Flight Time Duty Regs kick in.
