I also read on here from a major cargo guy (FedEx or UPS...he didn't say which). This was in 2017. He said their HR told them they had enough apps to cover 3 years of hiring, and then they had absolutely no idea how they were going to get enough pilots.
In GRB I just talked to a local pilot. He was talking about this thread's problem...lots of pilots leaving bizav to go elsewhere. He said a flt department in GRB was paying about $80K/year, and just upped the pay to about $140K. He said he was getting multiple job offers out of the blue.

Lots of owners are in for a shock when their current pilots quit.
