Pilot Shortage??????
Do yourself a favor. Google "pilot shortage". You'll find articles predicting the "looming" pilot shortage every year since Al Gore invented the internet.
There is no pilot shortage in the U.S. There will be no pilot shortage in the U.S. There may be a shortage of pilots willing to work for $16,000 a year, but frankly I don't even see THAT happening any time soon.
I fly for a small corporate flight department. We recently posted a job for a PIC in our King Air. We received over 1000 resume's for that 1 job.
There is no pilot shortage.
