"..moves the shortage around". I'd like to see evidence of this "shortage"; Starting pay rates for many newly-qualified pilots are still only just above burger-flipping money in many airlines. The reality is that for many years, certain sectors of the industry have become used to a free supply of expensively-trained pilots at no cost to themselves. What surprises me about all the posts here is that it's as if this had never happened before! "Flying instructors go to airlines when jobs are available" -- wow! Is that 'news'? |

It's sure happened before, as you know. What's different here now in the USA is the number of CFIs headed to regionals and the short time frame over which it's happening. But this being aviation, we may wake up tomorrow morning to a completely different set of circumstances. :{ |
Helane Becker, an airline analyst at the Cowen Group, said in a research note last year that about 22,000 pilots — about two in five — at the five largest domestic carriers would reach mandatory retirement age, 65, by 2026. |
