The airlines claim that by 2035 they will have overcome the pilot shortage. Yeah, good luck with that. They're just throwing numbers out there.
The only way to increase the number of pilots is to accelerate them through the pipeline.
...that and crash enough airplanes to have fewer planes (and routes) to fly.
