Re: Pilot Season
Pilots have been shot. The networks are deciding what shows to pick up. Some staffing has gone on on shows that are already picked up (like returning shows), and showrunners of pilots in contention have been meeting writers for awhile, so if they're picked up they can staff quickly.

Re: Pilot Season
assuming that you're looking to break in as a staff writer...
the last week of may is when thought will be given to your level for new network shows.
Your competition will be diversity hires from programs, staff writers from failed shows looking for their next gig, and assistants ready to move up.

Re: Pilot Season
certain studios/networks have diversity departments that front the salary for diverse staff writers for a season. Have your reps submit your material to them, get a meeting and they'll think of you when the opportunity comes up. Many shows welcome getting a free writer. Your material has to be up to snuff though and appropriate for the hiring show.
Otherwise, the studios have diversity programs -- CBS mentors, FOX pilot program, NBC Writers on the Verge -- that you apply to and they will in turn try to staff you on their shows.
