Don't forget about the whole "pilot shortage" mantra that has been around for the past 20 years!

It's all that many of us have to rely upon. It's a complete lie, propigated by flight schools and regional airlines, but still something that gives us hope.

There are over 10,000 furloughed FAR121 pilots on the streets right now. Trust me, there is no shortage. The only shortage will be the number of pilots who are willing to work for $20,000/year.
