Guys, this is just like the everlasting 'nursing shortage' of the last 20 years.

The American Hospital Association puts out the 'shortage' propaganda so they can attract self-sponsoring nursing students into an already flooded market.

This has the effect of lowering wages.

It's just like the airlines crying foul over the new 117 and ATP regs.

When Delta is knocking on your door and you're fielding multiple unsolicited offers of employment (other than regionals), that's when the "shortage" has officially begun.

No sooner.

This is ammo for raising 65. Guaranteed.

As someone posted on here somewhere "there will never be a pilot shortage, only a shortage of pilots willing to work for peanuts."

I am a former airline pilot who would return to the profession if it was more stable and provided a living wage. I admire you guys who have decided to stick it out - and I am often jealous of you - but I'm too risk averse to try it again the way the industry is currently set up.

This might be the start of the end......I know it's only Great Lakes, but it has to start somewhere
