I know someone that has all the hours, proper credentials to be a pilot, he has credentials to fly 737s and A320s, and he has never failed a test. He applied to over 70 airlines (major, regional, corporate, anything in the US) he had people in the industry review his resume. He can't get hired. He is a flight instructor and operates tourist flights but wants to fly larger planes. If there is a pilot shortage, why is no one willing to hire him?
That would be because they're lying. Not the guy in the meme. Companies are constantly saying they're short of workers without actually hiring more. There's several reasons for it, but mostly it's to influence regulation on training and safety standards. In teachers it's a political preference for private schools at the expense of the normal school system.
We produce enough nurses, pilots, and teachers. But the shortage myth justifies running skeleton crews, treating them badly, and hand waives high turnover.
because the media is owned by the same rich assholes that won't hire your friend. these same assholes are setting the narrative to get us fired up to attack each other so we don't look at what they're doing.
what they're doing is accelerating us on a path of self-destruction so they can come back with their resources and take over completely.
Something about this seems off. There is a pilot shortage. Are you saying this person is type rated on a 737 and a 320 and can't find a job? How much experience do they have on type?
He has over 1500 hours of total flying time.
