There will be unprecedented movement in the industry. The pilot shortage is not a myth, its reality.

Kit Darby...is that you??? Boy, it sure does seem like this "pilot shortage" has been "right around the corner" for a LONG time now. Is it ever going to get here?

not sure were all of you get your facts. But when 50% of continental airlines pilots are gone in 2012 because of retirement, and the number of pilots being trained is down drastically because know one can afford it. Sounds like a nice recipe for a need for pilots. Same thing happened in 2007 when everyone and there brother got hired, they pushed the retirement age back just to delay the obvious.

Not a chance. I'm planning to be out by 55, and my retirement funds are ahead of schedule for that. It's helpful when you start receiving a B-Fund pension in your 20s.

But even if someone did stay until 65, they still got screwed. All they got was an addition 5 years in the right seat, but the same amount of time in the left seat. Their left seat was just delayed by 5 years, and now they have to work 5 years longer to get the same amount of time in the left seat. Screwed, plain and simple.

See, part of Part 121 training is a module called "Doom & Gloom and Operational Pessimism". It's required today.
