Anyhuw, the "best" people in the trade are aircraft managers who take the T/R coming with an airplane and sell them to the crew.
And "everyone" ? Never happened, never will. Ask yourself, how Mr.O`Leary manages to keep his little exploitation scheme going ? Humans are overwhelmingly stupid when part of a mass....

Just some unrealistic optimism!

Atm there are a minimum of 5 European companies looking for G650 FOs and on top of that a couple of Cpt positions need to be filled. And that‘s just Europe!
I just hope nobody accepts an offer like that... absolutely no need, there are better options available.

The key word here is "offering". If you are a normal person and can negotiate, the salary can quickly go up to 10-12k and don't forget that on an Austrian contract you get your salary 14 times per year.
Article about an interview with the head of a well known US corp pilot headhunter:
"Quickly to the subject at hand, she confirms the shortage is real, causing major disruptions within business-aviation flight departments, altering careers and 'is the No. 1 topic in every pilot lounge'.”
"Ultimately, she would like to see a national pilot training academy established with rigorous standards and financed by the aviation industry."

Meanwhile I get a call from a call center, doing a survey on behalft of GAMA (IIRC), how would you like a single crew cockpit in your - 25 aircraft ?
Dead silence on my end.... "helllllloooo?" - "you realize you´re talking to a pilot".... "Umhhyeah, but we´d put up data link and have experienced pilots available 24H to help"... "allright, were do you get experienced pilots, who wanna sit in a box, apart maybe from medically disqualified ones and where do you get EXPERIENCED people from after the last 2 man cokcpit is gone ?" Dead silence on their end.
This shortage (who apparently exists in the US, over here there is none) is the last time, the pilots can get something outta their jobs. Aviation - jobwise - will be dead as a dodo in a few years. Ask the checkin folks, excuse the FORMER check in people. Loaders will be gone next and then flight crew. Last to retire will be SAFA/FAA-Checker....maybe time to sent a CV...

Yes, it would be a tall order. And the US airlines are not terribly interested in spending money on something like that since they haven't needed to...ever...and won't in the future either. The airline sector of US aviation would likely have to be the major contributor.
