Are the airlines really hiring more pilots?

Sorry.

So next question... If regionals vanish and flying goes mainline, what options will people have to build experience in preparation for the mainline carriers? I can't see Delta or United hiring someone with 1500 hours.

They have before, and they will again.

(they've actually hired, at various times in their history, pilots with less time)

Who said that was a bad thing, precisely?

Misinterpreted what I meant. I was talking about finding pilots that they'd go back to the practices they used, way back when. I think it would be great. But the pilot shortage being that bad is what I meant. Regionals would have to be all but gone at that point.

The website you're looking for is www.airliners.net ;)

What he was saying is aviation is typically a slow road. You have a LOT of ground to cover to head over to the Delta mothership. Even to be an FO you're talking close to a decade down the road. And who knows if they'll be needing 767 FOs when you get on.

Oh, and you need a degree completed in four years. If it took you five you're a worthless piece of rubber dog crap, in case you weren't aware.

Really now? Is that for delta only?

You know, considering you're right there in Riverdale, GA which is darned near riddled (no pun intended) with airline pilots on layover nearby, you've got a treasure trove of information right under your nose.

Head down to the local airport.

Yep. Figure 10 years to even be in a position to get hired by Delta and then 8-10 years to be senior enough to hold a bid on it. It might still be around, but odds are it'll be replaced by either the A350 or 787 by then.
