Given the number of current pilots who hold an ATP, there is no reason to roll back the requirement.

Raise the pay and maybe more of those 153,000 ATP's will be attracted to the profession.

Anybody know how many pilots are currently employed by the airlines? I am sure it is less than 100,000. That leaves a pilot surplus of over 53,000 pilots. There is no pilot shortage.
