My study is poorly done? I have no study, I just pointed out two basic facts about how many people are eligible for these jobs and how many of these jobs there are in America. Please do not plant words in my mouth, I said nothing about proof. The reader can think what they want about these two facts I stated, but they are still facts that must be dealt with when making the pilot shortage argument. If you want to shoot down the number of FAA active ATPs then be my guest, but use hard data.
