It will take a few years, but things will get better. I’d bet in 2 years, Regionals will be hiring again and recalling the furloughed guys. Then, bottom guys will start to see some flying and get some lines and start the slow move up. When the majors start hiring again (probably 5-7 years) then you will start to see movement at the regionals allowing you to start accruing enough time to upgrade after a few years. But for sure, the 3 year from regional to major time frame has gone and reset to probably 7-10 year. Another lost decade. If the virus resurges with a vengeance, tack another 1-2 years on to that time frame. But it will recover eventually.

I can send you one. However, I have no 2020, 2021 or 2022 editions as people won’t have money to buy them so I figured they’d go to waste. 2023 will be available late 2022

Question for the senior folk:
I was part of the new-hire E175 training group sent home in March. A lot of my class is seeking work elsewhere (some flying jobs exist), but some of those jobs will likely require a career swing away from the airlines, thus not accepting a call-back.
If we forfeit our spot in training and with OO for another opportunity outside of the airlines, is that a bad move? I think we're all worried about no base transfers, forever reserve lines, bad QOL, but it feels silly to drop an airline gig where it'll be pretty difficult to get an airline gig. I guess if the dream is to be an airline pilot, one should stick around, but I'm still curious as to what y'all think.
Are we dumb? Asking for a friend.
