You are a pilot, right?
Modern management has infiltrated the airlines since a few decades. They all fly a desk at best and have no clue. Save a penny today (to make their key account excel sheet look nice), costs millions later.
Give me some Simon Sinek type modern management, that’s an airline I‘d work for.
Some outlets still have the audacity to make such false claims and ruin people’s lives:
Aviation will need 27,000 new pilots in 2021 as shortage continues despite downturn
Unless airlines start providing free * to CPL/IR holders, there IS no pilot shortage going on!
It’s the other way actually. Pilots asked to give some [censored] extra on top of paying type rating, occ etc…
oh and you also need to buy the pool for ditching training 
Of course there will be a shortage of pilots in next 10 years but surely not in the next 2 years, somewhere between 3.14159years and 10years probably 
“3.14159years”
Pie in the sky.
