"All I can say is it's the best time to get into the industry," said Mike Kraus, program director for the aviation studies program at Westminster College"

Easy for him to say. His paycheck depends on it.

Then there is a Kit Darby quote. The usual.

Then, the ALPA guy says "...while the career has degraded to the point where it doesn't make sense to go into the business." as he discusses the pending pilot shortage.

So, while it seems there are airline jobs out there, they aren't your fathers airline jobs. Hopefully the next generation can raise the bar.
