A friend of mine called a bunch of airline recruiters, both majors and regionals. He said their picture of the industry is not as pretty as the flight schools say. He said the recruiter at ASA laughed when my friend said one of the flight schools said their will be a hiring shortage in the industry of qualified pilots. I guess, according to the recruiters, they have too many qualified pilots. Pilots with thousands of hours of flying are applying for regional jobs. So I called too and got the same answers: Finding a job as a pilot is not, nor will it be anytime future, any easier than before.
Anyway, just thought I'd pass on some reality, though I believe this site is objective and honest. I guess I never thought of it before, but if you want an honest, objective view of the pilot job market, call some recruiters.
Just my 2 cents.
