What is anyones guess the "pilot shortage" will be in 2020, as far as the majors?
2020 is a cool round number, I just picked it, plus it is understood as perfect vision, so that is cool too.
ANYWAY, the MySpace generation of today (age 15 to 25) is not exactly clamoring for pilot jobs or spending $20K at ATP-R-US to get their ratings, at least much less than in generations past.
Mostly gone is the dream of flying heavy iron to Europe, RON with hot FAs, and retiring as a heavy captain, after having made captain 7 years after indoc.
With that said, do you think we may actually have a pilot shortage in 2020?
