What hiring boom? I think you (like most pilots on this forum) are confusing hiring boom with hiring at all.
When I get multiple offers from FedEx, Delta, Southwest, UPS, Continental, etc. with signing bonuses and pay that AT LEAST matches that of a first year UPS first officer then I will concede that there is a hiring boom.
But as long as you have to beg for a job and accept low first year pay with no health benefits after paying dues for a decade, I will just call it hiring.
I don't think your definition is realistic, but then again this is FI. Anyone else care to define hiring boom, 3 times the hiring of today? 10 times? Is it 1967, 1977, 1987, 1997, 2007? What defines boom?
Hi!
What if major airlines, like UAL, come to your high school, interview you if you have a Private, and hire you? Is that a shortage?

Just as it's unfair to paint the entire regional airline pilot group as unsafe and inexperienced, it's unfair to paint the entire FAA as being "in bed" with the carriers and always ruling "in favor of the airlines".
There will be a shortage. The best time to get qualified is when there is gloom and doom and there is no hiring going on. Peace Out!
