      We additionally increased the requirements for being an officer in a regional airliner in 2013 from 250 hours to 1,500. That's 6x more time!

      Anecdotally - some ways to build time (fly cancelled checks) are going away. & the new ATP reqs mean almost no one'll do it on their own.

      I’m confused - that salary is not that big where is the unmet demand?

      When you say "not that big" what are you comparing to?

      Average new college graduate salary is something like $61k. An industry paying $10k over that does not seem out of normal bounds

      Especially when you figure it’s a stem-ish field and requires time away from home and bad hours - $70k seems like they aren’t even trying

      aha the mistake is thinking of it as a "stem-ish" field. you'll want to look at some numbers for entry-level commercial pilots..

      just because entry level pilots used to make peanuts does not mean there is a shortage now does it?

      I'm having trouble deciding which side of the word 'now' the implied comma would land in your question.

          Yeah, not sure what prior wages would say about current supply.
