I demand to be an Airline Pilot - Tell em they're dreaming

All the Millennials and Gen Y aspirants who want to be airline pilots are wasting their time and incurring huge HECS and Vet Fee Help debts should rethink their career goals. One thing that will come out of the pandemic is that probably for the next decade we are unlikely to have a shortage of type rated airline pilots either from within Australia or from overseas sources.
All these young pilot aspirants attending half baked university aviation degrees courses and Vet Fee Help sausage factory flying schools have almost no chance of getting that airline job.
Not that much of the current crop stand much of a chance in any case as their skill level is such that while it might meet the minimum standard for a CPL, MECIR and they can pass the ATPL theory because the CASA exam bank questions are so well covered off by the better ATPL theory schools such that there are virtually no questions you haven't seen before, they will never cut the mustard when the sharp end of a type rating occurs. Even the leprechaun's diversity cadets might have to actually meet the standards one would hope.
Tell em they're dreaming.
