The parents have been doing their due diligence for some time now; based on their findings, they have turned the taps off. Meanwhile the supposed pilot shortage continues to be BS. Pay up and they will come...
When I got my private I was living at home with my folks. They did not want me to fly and didn't even know I was taking lessons, until the day I talked my dad into being my first passenger. I paid for all my flight training myself, working long hours at a crappy job. Those days are long gone.

So here's thing...the way to draw new FO's is to boost 1st year pay. If a union is faced with 2 contract options, one adds $10/hr to 1st yr FO pay and $0 to the top CA pay and the other adds $0 to 1st yr FO pay and $10/hr to the top CA pay, which do you think will pass? Also doesn't the union get 0% the first year?
I got hired in my mid 40s. I knew Id be on year one rates for one year. And year 12 rates for 9.
I b'ed about first year pay, but given your choice I'd have put the raise on year 12 even as a brand new hire.

One thing that needs to be kept in mind is that many of the 20 somethings and younger are far less motivated by pay than older folks are. Recruiters for corporations across many industries are finding that recent college graduates are far more focused on quality of life issues above all else.
Trying to entice 20 somethings and millennials with high cost of entry, low pay, long days and 20 nights or more away from home staying at cheap hotels in places like Elmira, Akron and Topeka is just not going to cut it.

Wonder if the new Sully movie starring Tom Hanks will work as well as Top Gun did for the navy recruiters....
