Economic events is among the leading factor as to why, there is a shortage, that and pay. The majors are going to be furloughing people, and until they don't call everyone back, they won't be hiring new pilots. Delta said they are permanently grouding 300 airplanes. If they don't get enough people to volunteer and retire, which they never do, they will furlough pilots. That's going to be roughly 750 of the most junior guys. AA,UA, jetblue, spirit, SW are in the same boat.
There is a little slither of a light, cargo, and 135. But you best hurry,, because they will be getting full quick.
