In my class of 24 last year, all were Capt’s in some capacity either at the regionals, corporate etc. 2/3 of the class had been Instructors at the 121/135 level or check airman, chief piliots, directors, etc.

The SWAPA Facebook page has interesting stats on hiring demographics.

Those were a snapshot of just a few months of summer hiring in 2017. They don’t reflect the entire year.
