There will never be a shortage of systems operators but there is definitely a shortage of pilots.
Sorry to say, single pilot IFR is where it is all heading...at least until all the pilots are dead and buried. Hopefully by that time CX will be able to run their schedule with drone operators from the Dakota.
I understand that pretty soon 50 percent of US military ops will be run by drones...then they just upsize them to 400t MTOW and problem solved.
At least then we don't have to get buried with our mistakes
