Airlines in the United States are continuing to hire pilots at a very healthy pace. As
they compete with each other for qualified pilots, a few of the airlines have
begun to lower some of the minimum requirements necessary to get an interview
with them.
I was recently invited by AOPA to give a
presentation at the Aviation Summit in long Beach California. I began by
informing the audience of aviators and guests that there was good news, that
the airline industry had turned the economic corner and the resulting
profitability meant pilots are being recruited and hired by both Regional
Airlines and Major Airlines alike.
