The TP freight feeders are squawking about pilot supply. Not entirely unexpected to see some supply pressure at the entry level considering the amount of hiring further up the chain.
I'm not sure why the military would be in any position to influence the FAA or Congress to act for change on the civilian side (the military cares about the military...not things in the airlines). If the military thinks increasing the civilian supply side available to the airlines will stop the airlines from lusting after the mil pilots (and/or the reverse), they're mistaken. Perhaps I've missed something:
"However, Bernstein believes pressure from the military, which itself is feeling the pilot shortage, could lead Congress to act.
In February, US Air Force general David Goldfein told reporters that military pilots tend to leave for the commercial sector as soon as they reach the 1,500h mark.
'I suspect that if the military keeps up this pressure, Congress will have no choice to act', says Bernstein."
