This shortage is such BS its not even funny. A slow down in people working for abusive QOL and wages maybe-and that is best case scenario. Shortage? HA! I keep talking to guys with X hours Total Time and Y hours Multi...just licking their chops for a shiny jet, and their rationale as to why they should get the job?.......Almost always its because they are willing to do it for less than the current pilot group! Oh lovely! Nothing like less than poverty wages! Keep dreaming about your dream job. Oh, you know the women will swoon your shiny jet. And split when they find out the truth of your paycheck!
