Don't feel bad @Pilotlynn We are going to see the same thing over the next few years in aviation. These companies need to get on the ball with recruiting and think outside the box beyond what they have always done or they wont have enough pilots to stay in business.
I hear you. To be fair we must also remember that the recruiters take their marching orders from above. Some departments have the authority to make certain decisions and offers. Others are micromanaged severely and don't have any authority
VFR Only sounds like it can only be in certain locations. It would cost them a bit for training VFR only & then retraining for PIC IFR Checkrides & fuel costs as well as limited staffing costs to make things happen.
You will see only 50 -100hrs flight time VFR only Captain. Company will see a cost of at least $10,000 in expenses per person. The company is probably tightening its purse & expenses. Comes from top exec's. So recruiters are limited.
