If anything, the pilot shortage is more acute today than it was 15 years ago.
Pilot shortage? There was no Pilot shortage in 2007. ALPA members were out on furlough. Delta and United had terminated their pensions and the PBGC treats anything under 65 as early retirement. Throw in the fact that ICAO had already changed the retirement age to 65 and you had a certainty. So much so, ALPA changed their stance to get a seat at the table. This ain’t 2007. ALPA just restated their policy a few months ago.
It’s a good thing the Dems are in charge. Watch and see 😉
