Is the global pilot shortage on hold?
Up until a few weeks ago airlines all over the world were saying they were having a difficult time finding pilots, particularly the regionals (Trans States stating a couple of weeks ago they were ceasing operations primarily due to the pilot shortage).
Now there is talk that airline traffic may not return to the same level of passenger volume until 2026. Scores of older planes will be retired earlier than intended. Orders for new planes will be put on hold or canceled. Boeing is in a bad way with the 737 Max and hundreds of new "Maxes" awaiting delivery.
How will this affect the demand for pilots?
