Personally, short and to the point, when the various airlines mandated vaccines, the lost soooooo many pilots, and they not coming back.
They are not going to get more pilots until they stop the vax mandate.
It’s as simple as that.
...and many new potential pilots are choosing other career paths because they can't risk starting such a narrow track career only to face another Jim Jones Jab mandate down the road. Piloting skills don't transfer to other jobs.
The Pfascists who mandated the Jim Jones Jabs have set off a response that will be felt for generations. Many people had their eyes opened to how government stooges and their korporate cohorts are determined to take their rights away, regardless of the cost. These potential victims are not going to put themselves in a corner without options.
