The US market is a very different to the European market, a Short haul domestic sector that is as large if not larger than the European short haul sector, plus the fact the FAA 1500 hour rule creates an artificial shortage, the FAA could alleviate the shortage to some extent by relaxing that hour requirement.
2017 to 2019 recruitment levels were high but I would still say it was not what I would call an acute shortage. There are still sizeable numbers coming out of the training schools, so I can't see a peak recruitment boom as of 17 to 19 happening for quite some time. Plus the marketing departments of nearly all the schools seem to be pushing hard at the moment for intake. Where I do see the demand at the moment is for Instructors in the Middle East and Asia as those countries try to develop a domestic source of pilots.
