The pilot "shortage" is essentially the same as the trucker "shortage". I don't know how long the later has been going on but I've been hearing about stagnating pilot wages and increasing cost to earn flight hours for almost 20 years. Way back in 2010 a friend from high school got a pro pilot degree with a ton of certs and hours out of school, and had to work crazy hours getting like $20k/year for several years. Come to think of it it's very similar to adjuncts and teaching assistants at colleges: junior pilots keep the whole thing running but are getting screwed.
