To me, the pilot shortage happens when several airplanes at several companies cannot fly because there are no pilots to fly them.
Yes, first year pay has increased (through not years 2-12) and yes, signing and retention bonuses have appeared, but these have both served to increase the supply of pilots, preventing us from having a true shortage.
When will we see regional airplanes parked because there are simply no pilots to fly them?
