Then you come on this board and see comments like this.
Granted, the majority of the people here are not airline pilots, and are just looking for every opportunity to troll. I pity you. I really do.

Supply will outpace demand for pilots for the next ten years like it always has. By a lot.
Fact: there are about 80,000 airline pilot jobs here in the US, based on data culled from APC employer lists.
Fact: There are about 150,000 active ATP pilots around to fill those jobs, based on public FAA airmen data. Active means they are keeping their medicals current.
That's almost a 2:1 excess of current ATP pilots, and we have not dipped into the pipeline which contains thousands of eligible Comms and CFIs.

That's just the active ones, we haven't even tapped the inactive ones (those without a current medical). Or the people who could be converted to ATPs among all the commercials and flight instructors. I always find these pilot shortage discussions so hard to take knowing what the actual numbers show.
