I noticed in the news items in my workspace that Etihad is going on a U.S. road show for cockpit crew to New York, Chicago, Denver, Phoenix and Miami all in the month of August. To me it seems as if they see that there is a large pool of qualified direct entry FO's and CA's that will possibly be furloughed from their regional and mainline airlines coinciding with fall schedule cutbacks in the United States and I have a nagging feeling that we (Americans, Canadians, etc.) won't be recruited for the cadet program as heavily as other regions of the world. Does anyone else agree or am I over-analyzing this?
