My question is, do the people that support and write about this pilot shortage actually believe it or are they just that skeezy in thinking they will attract more dumb people to the job? I mean, I don't even see why something like this would be in the news paper. Do you think anyone that isn't a pilot actually read it and gave a crap?

So obviously it's geared towards a specific audience. Like dumb kids with way too much money that think being a pilot is just plain old cool and gets you laid.
