If that were the case, there wouldn't be so many laid-off factory workers that were in specialized trades going back to school.
Those professions are in decline just like pilots. Besides I wouldn't call those trades; Plumber, electrician, heavy equipment drivers are all real trades. You can find a job in almost any town. You will never see an outsourced police officer job.
