Regional Airlines Hiring Pilots

Hi Readers:
While I calculate and compare a few travel figures for the next blog, let me remind the Commercial and Air Transport pilots that regional airlines are hiring pilots and the future looks good. As reported by Airline Transport Professionals (airline pilot training and pilot career development) regional airlines COMAIR, Pinnacle, American Eagle, Trans State Airlines, Delta, ExpressJet Airlines, SkyWest Airlines, Mesaba Airlines, Skyway Airlines, PSA Airlines, and others are hiring pilots right now.
There are also several Airline Pilot Job Fairs scheduled where you can meet airline recruiters (800 - Jet Jobs). A good source of airline hiring information on your computer is www.pilotjobs.com. In fact, ATP has a database that is fed by the other airlines listing, primarily, their certificate, time, PIC, turboprop and jet time, and education and age requirements. The fact that they are listing minimum, competitive, and preferred requirements is a good sign that they are willing to talk to you, and listen. Good luck!
Meanwhile, Congress is still procrastinating on the GA fees - and several have reversed their stand on the matter. And the airlines are blaming GA for some of their troubles and GA is blaming the airlines for similar reasons.
Air travel has become a synergetic enterprise, closely knitted in structure and tightly wound in its total operation. The demand is great, the supply is problematical. Travelers need pilots and reliable airplanes, direct flights with minimum delays, and better connections to their final destinations. Airlines, such as JetBlue come close to travelers satisfaction.
Before I get off my soapbox, since when is our airspace (like the air we breathe) for sale? And (for the airlines) when did you decide that your passengers can go without food for those long hours of flying and delays? RS.
