if there was a like button.
so a Project Manager at a tech company can pull in 500k. In their 20s possibly. Whats a wide body CA worth? Double? Triple ?
unfortunatly it’s more like half. Fix that and there won’t be a “shortage” anymore.

If there was a high barrier to entry the compensation would be higher. Surgeons have a high barrier to entry which is why they make a lot of money. You can be a pilot zero to hero in less than two years

That doesn't solve anything in the short term. Maybe not even the mid-term.
False cause and effect. Neither lowering the entry requirements or extending the retirement age at the current point in time will have any effect on wages. Nearly impossible to get to 1500 in less than two years, and for most it costs well over $100k.

2. You 100% can get 1500hrs in less than two years.
3. Do you know how much it costs and how long it takes to get a bachelor, go to med school, and complete a residency? A lot longer than two years and a lot more than $100k. Now that’s a barrier to entry yet folk still getting into the field. I bet less than half do it bc their primary reason is helping people. Big money and prestige are primary. Give us that and no more shortage and you could even make the requirements that much harder.

It's a training shortage, not a pilot shortage. There are still plenty of 1500+ hour qualified guys on the street but the airlines can't train them fast enough. So a flight cancels and they cry "pilot shortage" when they actually should be saying "demand is back and we downsized for covid and now we can't train fast enough, plz help".

Just because you can go zero to hero in 2 years doesn’t make it easy. Not anyone can be a pilot. Not even close. Medical, education, coordination, personality, etc. Lots of layers
