ALPA continues to maintain that the airlines struggling to find pilots are those that don’t offer competitive wages, benefits, reasonable working conditions, and a career path.
What a shame, if only ALPA had done something about if before......

If Airlines Don’t Act Now to Provide New Pilots with Adequate Compensation and Career Paths, the Threat of a Pilot Shortage Looms in the Future.
If ALPA pulls their head out of their butts and starts representing ALL pilot groups trying to raise the bar for EVERYONE, there WON'T be a pilot shortage.

Currently, some airlines have heeded ALPA’s warning and taken initial action to stem a shortage by creating stronger compensation packages for new hires.
ALPA can pat themselves on their back all they want, but it's not like the companies said "hey, ALPA IS RIGHT!!!!! We gotta do something!!!!!". It's more like "holy crap, how the heck are we gonna staff!!!!! Offer them money!!!!!!"

So yeah, I read it. And yeah, I've been in ALPA and paying dues a little under half my life time. And yeah, I've been through a furlough, and concessions, and a shut down, and displacements.

But there's enough blame to go around on who pooched the screw on compensation levels. Sorry man, that's just the truth. You can stick you head in the sand and not accept, or acknowledge it. It's your choice.

Fun fact, judging by post #54, MF apparently types "swollen" more than he types "SWOL".
