So aviation managements are not reading the room. Every company I know is short of pilots. Now companies really will have to compete with each other to attract “talent”.

You get the difference tho don’t you??
The stuff in the trucks is paying big $$$ right now.
Your average punter on a plane doesn’t want to pay anything any more.
You are ‘worth’ the income you generate. The way the industry is now, that’s peanuts.
