Well gordo, you and your fellow airline heads created this pilot 'shortage' by cutting wages and furloughs - now it's time that they pay for pilots. Raise wages and there won't be a 'shortage'.
I had to laugh at the clip as Gordo professed that it was a co-pilot shortage, not a pilot shortage 'cause the gubament changed the requirements from 250 to 1500 hours. Just so we're clear, there is no pilot shortage, it's a co-pilot shortage.
