You're lucky to be finishing now.

I finished right after 9-11... you needed a million hours just to be a lowly CFI back then.

However, until wages come up the industry has no right to complain about shortages, real or imagined.

Too many people have been deterred from aviation because the working conditions created by the industry have been extremely poor.

Who wants to go $100,000 in debt for a job that pays $17,000 per year?

Also, things look good now, but what about when the next down turn hits?
