Nope, I was responding to the implication they are hiring more 135 pilots because of a lack of 121 applicants.
Besides, my class had one regional FO who did not have prior 135 PIC, and he worked for three regionals over the past 10 years. If there are <3000 hour regional FO's getting hired here, I'm genuinely happy for them. However, they are not an example of the average new-hire...yet.

Where are you getting your data?
Allegiant just ordered 12 A320CEO aircraft and jetBlue 30 A321NEO for deliveries beginning in 2019. Airbus year to date (Jan 1-Jul 31) delivered 280 A320 family airplanes (2 319CEO, 153 320CEO, 11 320 NEO, 114 320CEO) and the Mobile, AL plant isn't even running at full capacity yet.
Not saying you're wrong but curious where you get 'many years out' numbers from.

And Spirit pays an even smaller price to have you fly their pax around. Lol
I hope no one is coming here thinking that we will have a new contract soon. Management made it clear they plan to let mediation takes its course, which means they'll drag it out as long as possible.

What constitutes "a lot"? My class of twelve had one corporate jet 135 guy. Everyone else was regional or heavy air cargo 121.
Don't get me wrong, there are many things that need to improve here, but I don't see how we've gotten to the point where we are scraping the bottom of the barrel. There are still lots of good guys and gals coming online here.

OE is being scheduled for 35 hours for upgrades and 30 for new hires. Not that it's far from 35 for both.
