The move comes amid the backdrop of US regional airlines having increasing difficulty hiring new pilots. Citing FAA’s requirement that pilots accumulate 1,500 flight hours before becoming a commercial airline pilot and other factors
A typical response from the airlines who created the illusion of cheap fares, expensive staff and continually increasing dividends to share holders.
There are pilots everywhere, all they have to do is offer decent pay and conditions, and pilots might leave Burger King to continue their career. Or if there aren't enough pilots to hire, they need to make the career more inviting than a "normal" job. Supply and demand is about to bite these accountant driven simpletons on the arse I think.
