What about the ATP's that get another job outside aviation, do corporate, become "your friend" from the FAA, fail a medical, have a DUI or are un-hirable? I'm not going to crunch numbers, but things look better than the lost decade at the very least. Also... 20 years is a lot of speculation. We'll likely all have flying cars and teleport machines by then anyway.
