hey all,
since the market has slowed to a veritable crawl, id like to know if y'all have seen/experienced any movement on the lower end to indicate any hiring news on the higher end.
as for us (single/light twin 135 ops) out of less than 20 pilots, weve had one just recently move to a jet operator...and two go to private jobs, one in a jet, one in a turbo-prop. all three of these had about 2000 hours and around 800 multi PIC. as a comparison, last summer (pre 9-11) people were blasting outa here with just shy of 1500TT and 2-300 multi PIC.
i also keep in touch with the school i went to, and theyve not had but one or two guys get hired in the last few months.
it also sounds like Airnet is beginning to interview on a limited basis again. from what i hear, their pool has slimmed down some from the guys tired of waiting and jumping ship.
so, as near as i can tell, there IS some movement...albeit, nothing along the likes of what weve seen in the past, anyone else???
