as a recently out of work pilot in the US with 7 type ratings and 7000+ hours, I can't get an interview at most places much less a job.. I recently went to a regional airline interview that started its' pilots at $22/hr.. up until last year, they mostly hiring 22 year old kids with 600 hours of small airplane time as FO's.. at my interview was a 23000 hour ATA former L1011 and 757 CA, and two retired USAF guys who were FO's at ATA and Skybus respectively..

BAD job market, worse I've ever seen.
