Don't ignore the couple of elephants in the room, namely the environmentalists and the single pilot flight deck. Given the huge surge in demand as soon as the borders opened up, maybe that one will fade and also, there are a lot of smart engineers and chemists out there. Coupled with the possibility of short haul e-props, the future may be ok. As for the single pilot flight deck? It's coming. Just not exactly sure when but there are several serious projects under way. The UK ergonomics society put out a white paper about it in 2020. Worth a
read.

Omg, they still think there can be any form of pilot shortage ?
There will be a pilot shortage when in spite of sponsored training and good working conditions there won't be enough pilots. The day that this will happen is exactly never.
