Throughout 2015, there was a fundamental shift in the assertiveness applied to the recruitment 'processes' to attract pilots and other candidates (dispatchers, flight attendants, mechanics, etc.) to the regional airlines in the United States. In my former life, I was an airline marketing rep, and I have noticed an emphatic shift in the strategies that each company utilizes to make their carrier stand out from the others, with perks such as high starting pay, bonuses, commuter hotels and other attractive incentives that have been developed in an extremely competitive hiring environment for regional airlines vying for a limited supply of candidates coming from flight schools and aviation tech schools. The aviation job market is as ripe as it has ever been, and that is a very good thing for applicants seeking the right fit for a good starting point to begin (and possibly end) their careers.
