Glad I didn’t have to sue to get my dues back. They made the right choice this time

So the unions don't want to allow an extension of retirement age, and they don't want to lower the artificially high entry barrier, so what solutions are they actually coming up with to help solve at least the current short term acute pilot shortage?

They've been telling the airlines this was coming for years. Airlines had plenty of time to do something, although covid was a big distraction at the wrong moment. If airlines didn't want to massively raise compensation and QOL, they could have easily setup paid ab-initio pipelines about five years ago and they'd be fine. Zero => CPL/CFI =>CFI (or just paid to to turn avgas into noise) to 1500 hours => regional => mainline. You'd have all the takers you'd need for that. |

Why should they bother, it's not really their problem to solve???
