Pilot hiring, especially on the FW side has been epic. Never has there been a time where RW pilots were actively recruited in the industry to fill the seats. You know, due to a shortage in qualified pilots!

FedEx has suspended hiring, that's true.  The part you left out was that they are also closing their European bases and will need to absorb those pilots into domestic side again.  Perhaps you left that part out on purpose to try to prove some point, or perhaps you're just ignorant.

AA, DAL, UAL, SW, F9, etc continue to hire. Frontier announced at RTAG last year their own RTP program.  I personally know several RW pilots with just a FW PPL who have been given a CJO with 50k and are working on their FW certs With that money.

Loans you say?? Those are a distant memory on the Faw side.  All of the regionals offer new hire bonuses that will pay off whatever debt one incurs in training.  Many offer RTP programs for RW guys and gals.

yes, there is a SHORTAGE of qualified FW pilots to meet the current demand.  Retirements at the Legacies combined with growth plans have created an opportunity never before seen.  

nice try
