There will never be a shortage. Not now, not ever. If you think that there's a shortage just because there's some movement after there was NONE, you don't follow the industry. It's possible either that, or you are thinking you'll get to a major. That's no longer something that's normal. Not everyone playing Freshman or even JV will make it to varsity, and no amount of hard work can change that for every Dick and Jane pilot out there.
