Fact of the matter is I could be a great time to get into aviation.
Many of the haters on this board never have done manual labor or sat in a dead-end cubicle for 50K. You will have to wade through the next 5+ years for sure, but help is coming at most ALL carriers
Just like all those thousands of Vietnam pilots that were suppose to retire all at once? Not going to happen, there will never be a shortage of pilots for the jobs at the majors. There might be a shortage for regional jobs that start at $20,000 a year but even that will be short lived. Don't believe the hype. Majors as we know them now might not even be around.
