I'm kinda glad that people are leaving this business. I suppose it's the first step in pulling this industry outta' the ********************ter.
If people keep leaving or deciding that the airline industry is unstable, eventually the airlines will have to go looking for the pilots.
Supply and Demand...
As people become more educated and are aware that this is not a stable career and choose a different career, then throw in the retirements, and the furloughs that never return to their job; one day you will have a shortage of pilots.
By the time I get to a regional, I'm hoping this is the case and there is a quick upgrade time, the pay has increased, and there is a better QOL.
Just my thoughts on it.
