"If some airlines are short of pilots, it is due to their failure to offer adequate compensation, not because of a lack of qualified pilots. FAA statistics clearly show there are more than twice as many qualified pilots looking for jobs as there are job openings, with more than 25,000 new Airline Transport Pilot certificates issued during the past three and one-half years alone."
