Here, Jason discusses the current state of airline hiring and the factors that have led to a slowdown in 2024. The author, Jason Depew, argues that the panic surrounding airline hiring is unwarranted and that the industry will eventually correct itself. He provides a historical overview of airline hiring trends, highlighting the pre-COVID boom, the impact of the pandemic, and the subsequent hiring frenzy. Depew delves into the challenges faced by regional and ultra-low-cost carriers (ULCCs) due to pilot shortages and the ripple effects on major airlines. He criticizes certain practices, such as flow-through programs and the reliance on outdated aircraft models, and offers suggestions for improvement. Despite the current slowdown, Depew remains optimistic about the future of airline hiring and encourages aspiring pilots to prepare themselves for the upcoming hiring boom by focusing on gaining experience, professional development, and interview skills.
