This is information that ALPA, APA, SWAPA, Teamsters, etc. should be pushing out loud and clear. Our contracts are currently grossly affected by the large of supply of new pilots who are doing anything they can to chase the dream that doesn't exist--because there are so many chasing it. It's been a spiral down that will hopefully stop.

The pilot shortage of 2009/2014 is something the pilot mills (thing puppy mills) and job jocks have been pumping to line there own pockets. The only thing that the retirements will help is to get the industry back to a respectable position--if the industry doesn't pump out 2 more pilots for each of the pilots who retire.

The parasites will do their best to profit again by over selling the dream. It's too much like the TV commercials touting $1,000 a week or more working from you own home.
