Are Regionals still hiring??

According to a chief pilot at Comair, No upgrades in 2008 and no new hires in 2008.

So it looks like Comair is planning to be 240-360 pilots smaller at the end of 2008? Gotta love that place.

Here's some advise for anyone considering a career in aviation...don't. Stay away from the aviation industry as there are enough storm clouds on the horizon to make any intelligent person think twice about getting into a Cessna 172. Here are just a few of the storm clouds I refer to:

Age 65...killing career progression for two-five years.

Open Skies...potentially having as big an influence on pilot salaries and quality of life as deregulation did.

Worldwide demand for oil outpacing worldwide oil production capability. How many trips through bankruptcy by your company are you willing to endure before you say "enough is enough" and throw away the seniority you've spent time building to do what you should have done in the first place and invest your time in a more worthwhile profession.

An outdated Railway Labor Act that prevents pilots from collectively witholding services...despite Hollywood writers being allowed to strike at will.
