Exactly this - there is NO shortage of pilots (qualified) willing to work for UPS wages. They must have 100's if not 1000's of resume's on file.
The shortage will be felt first way way down in ACMI / regional / charter yada yada land - where the pay AND QOL are much much worse. Is there is a shortage of pilots willing to work for crap wages in a strong economy for bottom tier companies? Sure. A shortage willing to work for UPS wages? Total BS.
