I think what a lot of people are missing here is that the amount of people wanting to fly is only going to increase and therefore the amount of a/c and pilots will have to increase.
However, in the long run I don’t think this will help pilots. I think when you couple the cost of aircrew to the airlines and the length of time it takes to train pilots; airlines will probably push quicker toward fully unmanned a/c thus removing the need for pilots.
