"I never said we have a perfect system. The regionals have taken advantage of a glut of pilots willing to work for peanuts for a long time. They are hurting now that the majors are hiring so nobody stays there any longer that they have to to get the hours to move up. I and a lot of other people have been saying there is no pilot shortage. There is just a shortage of pilots willing to work for the wages offered.
Yes there is an outfit in Florida that does pay to fly, but they are more of a training operation than an actual airline. I wonder how the 1500 hour rule affects them since obviously no one with 1500 hrs would pay to fly."


As advertised on their front page, Eagle Jet International, Inc. , it looks they use actual airlines.
