So I was sitting in the smoking area at De-toilet the other day and was listening to a few guys talk about how many resumes they have on file from two different major airlines. They were talking about the (DOOOOOM!!!!) pilot shortage.
"We've got 8000 resumes on file at our company, [Major airline] has 8000, and [Cargo airline] has 8500! That's over 24000 resumes! There isn't a lack of pilots out there!"
I took a last puff on my smoke, looked at them and said "You guys do realize that that's mostly the same 8000 guys resumes at all those companies, right?"
They looked puzzled. Stumped almost, like "that can't be!" I walked back to the KCM line and went on with my day, not really caring either way.
Do you think I'm right?
