Back to the original question. The same situation back in 2018 and 2019 will be back again. The only question is when. The baseline issues that created 18 and 19 are still here in 2021 only masked by the Covid situation. Each day, every one of us gets a day older and closer to retirement. The input from all sectors has been reduced because of the “sky is falling” predictions from those who aren’t in the know. Will new pilots start ramping up to meet the new demand curve is yet to be seen.

The pilot shortage in Europe is similar to what you see in the States. The big, legacy airlines, will never have an issue finding pilots. But the smaller, ACMI/Charter/ULCC, airlines can struggle to find pilots at times. From fall 2016 to Covid, there was a ton of pilot hiring in Europe, it was really not hard to find a job at all if you looked outside of the likes of Lufthansa, KLM, etc. Even BA went through a pretty big hiring binge for a few years.

And you didn't have to bring a type rating (and hours in it) to these jobs that were easy to find?
