Pilot Shortage in the US is Official

[atpcliff]

The Pilot Shortage has finally reached American s*************************...and not just Asia where they are going crazy trying to find pilots....so much so that they are opening American bases and hiring some FOs.

I just was on the website "Quarterlette", a US website aimed at 20 something females...and saw an ad by Rishworth for small Airbus pilots!!!

I hope you're a 20 something female, otherwise that's kinda creepy.

Sorry, there is no pilot shortage yet. Is Atlas having a problem keeping people? In a good economy, they had a revolving door going on there. You'll know there's a pilot shortage when companies like that are forced to hire 1500 hour wonders.

Atlas has lowered their minimums twice since they began hiring about 3 years ago. The total time requirement is now down to 2000 hours.
There are a number of Atlas guys leaving for AA and UAL.

I was reading something, clicked on a link, and arrived at "Quarterlette". I had never heard of them, so did a bit of research on the site. I read a few of the articles there that were of interest.

And, if I was dating, I would prefer an average 25 year old to an average 65 year old. Normally, girls below 25 aren't very mature, so that would be my generic limit.

web adds are based on your browsing history and not necessarily site related. I was just doing research on new floors and every site I go to seems to have a lumber liquidators banner.

And I'm getting vacation banners. Damn you interwebs I can't afford a vacation now!

^^^^ This. Most websites have no idea what they are advertising, and most advertisers have no idea what websites their ads are on. They both subscribe to advertising service providers. This is why google makes billions and seems to give everything away for free, folks. They are tracking you and your preferences. They try their best to know everything about you and serve you advertising which you might actually click on.

Wow, Atlas is hiring some pilots, it's a shortage!

Yeah, well, that doesn't explain why I get ads and banners for hemorrhoid cream, Vaseline, and Judy Garland records all the time. It's driving me nuts!

Must have connected it to "Jersey" in its database, and come up with a hit list of expletives, unnatural sex acts, and other filth, and censored it to be on the safe side.

When I posted this, I didn't realize that Delta was going to start hiring again this soon: Next class of 50 starts in Nov, 2013 for them.

AA and UAL probably doesn't have a pilot flying overseas for an adventure in which flying to a couple of states over is fine. Quality of life is unimportant to some.

I think quality of life is #1 for everyone. It's just the definition that changes.
