yes,there is a pilot shortage of pilots willing to pay for t/r, line training, then working for free for years.
there is a pilot shortage of dady'son ready to spend a fortune in one of these integrated schools, thinking they will join BA.
there is a pilot shortage of captain, willing to work for peanuts in some crazy countries.
PLEASE STOP THE B....T, there is no pilot pilot shortage now, and certainly not in the future as well.
