Airlines are probably just slightly under-crewed at the moment. When flights are regularly cancelled then we will know there is a shortage. The airlines affected will be the ones where people are the unhappiest, the ones where the grass is just a bit browner. Airlines that are refuse to give pilots a reasonable work-life balance or treat them like idiots or work-units will lose their pilots first. Then, if there is a real shortage it will be contagious. We might even get paid what we are worth now we to pay for type ratings, training etc.

Notice I in the reasons for leaving I have not said turboprop or mentioned salary because they are not the most important.
