Very little happening in the States right now. Except at the regionals. Most of the larger RJ operators are hiring FOs. Only a few of the major and larger national carriers (FedEx, Southwest, Alaska, JetBlue, AirTran, American Trans Air) are hiring; and most, if not all, of these strongly prefer an inside recommendation.

Also, the larger fractional operators (NetJets, etc) are hiring, but the time from submitting application to interview to class dates are running many, many months. Again, inside recommendations are very helpful.
