No personal information will be collected on the questionnaire.
Responses are solicited from only 18+ and current Pilots.
Thank you very much in advance and happy landings!

I looked at your questions and the reason for the shortage isn't an option for an answer.
The reason the US is so short of pilots right now is because United, AA and Delta let thousands of pilots retire early. That's it.
Now these three are stripping other airlines bare and to to make up the gap of early retirements.
