Wiley,

You are right but it takes a long time to get to a situation where you have enough pilots to make sweet schedules. I agree with you but also lets not forget the poor housing situation. I would go in a heartbeat but I have to be concerned about housing as I have a wife and young son in tow.

I am still waiting for a call back from Etihad where I finished the online application almost two months ago. Experienced? Well that's in the view of the company. In my case I have over 3000 hours in an aircraft (A320) that they operate. Now if their HR dept was properly staffed to handle the number of applicants they receive. Now I am just one example, just think of how many are in the same boat and just how many some of these carrier's with the exception again of Emirates.
