Absolutely! I was a CFI when it hit the CFI level, I was at the regionals when it hit the regional level, and now I’m at the majors and it’s hitting at that level. Massive retirements are hitting everyone. If you look at Southwest Airlines (using them as an example because they have historically been one of the hardest airlines to get on with) they used to require a 737 type rating, 1000 turbine PIC hours, and to be competitive you needed over 5000 hours and pretty much had to either have a military background or be a check airman at a regional. First they dropped the 737 type rating requirement. Then they dropped the 1000 TPIC requirement, and slowly over the last few years kept dropping requirements until they got down to 500 turbine preferred! They used to require a year before you could re-apply. Before they stopped hiring last year that had dropped to 3 months! I’ll say it again. The ONLY reason hiring has slowed recently is because the growth plans that the airlines have been hiring for over the last few years have been halted due to unanticipated aircraft manufacturing delays. They hired massively to try to get ahead of the curve, but then when they couldn’t get airplanes they found themselves overstaffed. This is temporary.
