The next recruiting hotspot for U.S. airlines in need of experienced pilots is FedEx and United Parcel Service. Regional airlines are stepping up recruiting efforts as the air-cargo business is slowing.

Regional airlines were once known for low wages, but they have boosted pay in recent years to attract and retain pilots.
