Nail on the head aa73.
There is no shortage of pilots in the US, there is only a shortage of ATP's willing to sit RHS in an rotten Brasilia earning $18K a year. Interestingly, since the new ATP training rules in August got implemented, not a single US ATP program has started, not a single ATP has been certified having gone through the new programs. So, sooner or later these bottom feeding commuter airlines are either going to have to pay up, or shut down.
Any business that relies on slave wages and over supply as a business model, doesn't deserve to survive. Good riddance.
