Not trying to fight with you, I'd like a shortage/slowdown in the pipeline as much as the next guy, but it would take a heck of a lot more than AMR! So I whileheartedly disagree with your post. There is not and was not a shortage. There are still a lot of pilots of ALL levels out there, plus a plethora of career changers. Probably the only real shortage maker will be an unwatered-down ATP rule, which by the way is loooong overdue.
