Guess they will just lower standards to fill those flightdeck seats, the old T&C's will never return
Lowering standards also include lowering pay-checks and you can always find someone willing to be a pilot for less (or even worse, paying). Airlines understood pretty well the concept of right seaters paying the monthly check to the left seaters ... and they call it 'cadet program'

Anyway
Latest projections suggest that a minimum of 50,000 additional pilots will be needed over the next eight years just to meet the requirements of current Chinese orders - and that doesn't take account requirements for business aviation and the entry of new airlines through the region.
