I worked HAA and O&G as an A&P, got into the airlines after some effort a few years ago. I can tell you at a premier airline, we are training anyone willing to put forth the effort to be a pilot from other divisions in the company. Mechanics are not far behind. As our GM told us last month, it's a sellers market and the checkbooks are about to open up. Why? Because the majority was retirement age before the pandemic and many took the packages to retire. dumb in a way I know, they should have seen this coming.

All in all, it will raise wages. If your wages are low, well it won't be for a lack of options, though there are many cheap operators that would love to work you for free while they go out and buy $80k vehicles...
