When I was chucking bags waay bag in 2000 you needed 5000 hours and 500 on type to get a job flying a navajo, Of the 20-30 odd wannabee pilot rampies I knew from back then only 5 of us are still in the industry 4 are flying 1 ATC.
I know several yanks whom we canucks thought they had it made with their green cards could not put food on the table and moved on to other more lucrative careers working at bars.
Its not a pilot shortage its always been a pay shortage.
