I too don't know where you get your numbers from! I am what you refer to as a "Legacy" and have been unemployed for 7 years! Because of my "Age", no one will look at me or any other pilot over 50! Please understand this; THERE IS NO PILOT SHORTAGE!!!! THERE NEVER HAS BEEN A PILOT SHORTAGE!! It's all B.S.!!! Could there BE a pilot shortage? Sure. Especially the way Corporations treat their pilots and the cost of getting all the necessary Ratings. The truth is, most "Companies" these days want "Qualified" pilots who look like they just stepped of the pages of GQ Magazine in addition to allow themselves to become "indentured slaves". Also factor in the fact that "They" are currently developing "Pilotless Aircraft!! That's right! For years now "They" have been developing AND testing "Self-Flying Aircraft!! Imagine what THAT will do to "Pilot Demand"!!!
