The BT video update on 4/26 states the IPA has calculated subcontracted domestic flying is worth 13 lines.

While I can't speak for any pointy-nose military pilots, there have been pilots hired this year from GoJet, Expressjet, PSA, Republic, Piedmont, Endeavor, and Envoy.

If it's true they are shying away from fighter pilots, is it maybe that they leave when Delta, United or American finally call?

I was regional scum hired in 2016... my sim partner flew around in a ejection seat for 12 years (there was also 3 other regional and another F16 guy in my class)... so, unless things have changed, I think that’s a pretty bogus statement. Are the numbers disproportionaltely in favor of heavy ACMI and global ops people? Absolutely, but, they are certainly hiring a bit from EVERY background.
