There is only a shortage of pilots who are willing to work for so little. Perhaps if the supply of eager new pilots who are willing to do anything for the job were slimmed down we all would have a better chance.

Our worst competition comes from the next generation. It only takes 90 days to make a new commercial pilot. They are lured into the profession by false promises of women and treasure. Perhaps if we were to give them a dose of reality early on they would switch to something else.

I know I sure would have.
