I tell a lot of new hires this who were in high school in 2015. There was a long period when the industry simply didn’t hire. If they did hire it was highly competitive and competitive mins were even more so. This doesn’t even count flows, recalls etc.
I honestly think it was harder to get on at Colgan in 2006 than it was to get on at Delta in 2022.

My first regional interview was two days, with a sim check in a heavy four engine jet (me being a light twin MEI), and an astronaut physical on day two.

I hate needles, and I thought the blood draw was bad enough.... They required a stool sample at one point?! I only got the ATR sim as the 707 was busted for our group...

I remember that very well. A few years later I was in the schoolhouse and a guy walked in holding a 707 yoke—he said “they were disassembling the KC-135 sim so I asked them for it and they gave it to me.”
