The numbers are just not there. Stay strong and believe in holding for a better outcome.
IF there was a real pilot labour supply crisis either due market forces or a prolonged strike and the government decided to waiver Visa restrictions for anyone with a ICAO ATPL they would be inundated with applicants. Just about every single country in the world has an airline and you don’t really need that many people in reality. Standards will be thrown out the window just to keep the show on the road.
