The thing about myths is, they are very hard to put aside when they pay so much in terms of immediate pleasure. The pilot shortage myth is just like crack cocaine- once you start doing it you see only ways to get more dope. You filter out anything that tells you it is a mirage and your viewpoint is contaminated. But if you want to see the real situation you will begin to gather the real facts. One of them is that airlines attract too any applicants. That in turn drives down pilot wages. It's always been like that and for the foreseeable future it will remain so. Flying airliners is an unusually competitive profession. Wages will not go up very much, and pilots will remain in oversupply.
