He's been talking about the mythical pilot shortage for years. He thinks just because some 777 operator in China is hiring typed FO's with 10K total time and 2K on type and paying them $120K a year the shortage is finally here. In my opinion the shortage is at least 3 years away. Ask me again in 3 years and I'll tell you the shortage is 5 years away.
