FlightDawg hit the nail on the head...
There is not now, nor will there be a pilot shortage anytime soon.
What there will be, is a shortage of pilots willing to accept jobs at low salaries and poor quality of life.
There will always be qualified pilots out there.. ie ATP holders, Military (Guard and Reserve/Active Duty retiring) pilots and furloughees, that can fill the right seat. But will they accept working for less than a fast food employee? That is to be seen.
motch
Again, a shortage due to lack of pilots or a shortage due to people not wanting to work as pilots equals the same thing, a shortage. This isn't rocket science.
