The bottleneck has started moving and will simplify further with some time and continued upgrades.
I'm not sure about that. We're experiencing "Training Float" right now because we're in the middle of changing out old aircraft for new ones. Lots of pilots in training. Once the transition is more or less complete we may not need as many pilots. I saw this happen at USAirways when the A320's starting arriving.
