If you want to know about how screwed up the airline industry is, watch the podcast, pilots with 1500 hours of flight time are being hired and within 2 years they get made a Captain.

Maybe on the smaller regional jets. That is not happening on the bigger jets and especially on the heavies.

Don’t know if it’s still true but there was a time when airline pilots started out in the Air Force or Navy.

If you listen to the podcast, it is indeed happening, in this case United Airlines, at least according to one of their pilots.
