It's going to be fine. Once Peak Oil has hit, and the economy stumbles, Congress will force the FAA to institute Single Pilot Cockpits across the board. Shortage solved! Next question?
Seriously though, there was a camp of scientists that were speaking of oil depletion decades ago. It was never a question of IF, but WHEN. Now look at OPEC and other oil producing mafias, trying to manipulate the market with effective authority, it is stunning that high oil prices haven't already hit. Makes me wonder what they're waiting for...
Pass the ketchup. You gonna finish that?
