Ok, maybe a bit darker than necessary, I give you that. But answer honestly, even if Southwest doesn't furlough a single pilot (possible), when do you think we will start hiring again? 2021? 2022? Now, what's the chance other majors won't furlough either? Not that much, in my opinion. Bottom line is, there will be pilots on the streets, most likely many. That will temporarily take care of the shortage. Do you think the minimum requirements won't be affected by this? All I wanted to say is that there's no point in asking what the requirements are now because they will most likely change before anyone starts hiring again. How much? Nobody knows because we can't predict how many people and for how long will be out of jobs.
