Will there be a shortage of pilots willing to work at a regional for $20k/yr? Maybe
Will Corporate departments have trouble finding someone to fly their Global for $200k/yr? Nope. Will Legacy carriers have trouble finding qualified applicants to fly their planes? Nope!
So we have learned there is a shortage of good paying pilot jobs. Supply and Demand.
Will there be a big need for regional pilots in the next 5 years compared to the previous 5 years? I doubt it, we have already seen the growth in the regional carriers and the 50 seater is dying. Oil continues to rise, which suffocates smaller aircraft flying short haul routes with thin profit margins.
