They have been saying that stuff since pilots first were created. Every pilot that leaves there is already three or four ready to take their place. The famous pilot shortage was created to sell magazines and pilot licenses. '

There might be a surge of retirements however the new jobs are being created in the regional and LCC's and not in the better paying legacy airlines.
