From someone who has told students the downsides of things and warned them about Shiny Jet syndrome, let me tell you it doesn't always go well......sometimes students don't want to hear the truth. It interferes with their dreams. I have an instructor now that is under the impression he will be in ground school at a 121 regional any day. lol
Awww bless his Trump level delusion
Can you imagine how much ass you'd have to kiss to get hired right now
If people want something enough, they will work through the steps even during the hard times to be in a position to get what they want during the good times.
If I had to guess the cancellations are more from Delta having thousands of pilots not current, or awaiting training on a plane. Plus aren’t those that would have been furloughed just sitting at home now? They don’t have a lack of pilots.We're at half the normal flying, yet Delta cancelled roughly 400+ flights for lack of pilots this weekend and a vaccine is coming.
I would suggest the second half of '21 might get kind of interesting again, assuming something else doesn't dissuade the public from flying by then. (murder hornet infestations, meteor showers etc)
Or...maybe I'm just overly optimistic by nature. (except when it comes to our govt in general LOL)

And to think, the “biggest” pilot shortage and hiring spree was going to start in 2020 and 2021.
Oof size: largeI’m still recovering from being a few weeks away from never seeing Devils Lake, N.D. again and now spending Christmas there.
Turns will have me TAFB around 7-8 hours.You ever looked at your total time from leaving your front door to getting back? It ain’t any better.
Congrats, but that isn't the norm.Turns will have me TAFB around 7-8 hours.
I’m sure Lucy won’t yank the football this time!It’s a black swan event, like 9/11 but worse. I guess my point is how we ignore the historical trend of the airline industry and believed that somehow this time it would be different.
Sadly it's becoming the norm where I work. In Vegas 271 out of 426 pairings for January are turns.Congrats, but that isn't the norm.
