2. You're asking for a lot of factors to come together at once.
Just because we want a pilot shortage to happen doesn't mean it will happen.
What the heck are you talking about?? The latest date?
Follow me here for a minute.
Close your eyes. Cast your mind back to 2007.
Do you see every major in America hiring multiple classes of new hires every month?
December, 2007. Congress passes the age 65 law. Now all the old fellas get an extra 5 years in the left seat.
The hiring windows at the majors SLAM SHUT, with the realization that just about every one of those 60 year olds is staying to 65.
Now, add 5 years to December 2007 and you get December 2012!
How the hell is this so hard for you? YES, 2012 IS THE LATEST DATE!!! IT'S BEEN THE LATEST DATE SINCE DECEMBER 2007!!
DO YOU GET IT YET????????
