?There may be a shortage of qualified pilots who are willing to fly for U.S. airlines because of the industry?s recent history of instability, poor pay, and benefits,? says Capt. Lee Moak, president of ALPA.

Think of all the guys who have gotten out of the profession who would gladly get back in for the right money.

I know a few guys who have thousands of hours and enough 121 time to be viable, who would leave their good jobs if the pay was right. They never got over the flying bug, but had to leave the industry to feed their families.

Pilots can say and do anything they want considering they don't run or control anything in this piece! Put your own funds up and then you can talk or do anything you want.
