even if half of the pilots flying today left the industry for one reason or the other, we wouldn't need any more.

...but...but...pilot shortage!!

...Gwendolyn, please. There is no pilot shortage. That lie is told so that gullible young folk can be separated from their future earnings by indebtedness, and awholebuncha flight schools can stay in business.

fact is...there are a lotta helicopters out there that just aren't needed. too many ships chasing too little business. and it's gonna get worse in the future. 

to sum up: too many pilots...the world don't need any more pilots...if you are thinking and dreaming of being a pilot, get some professional help. but don't be a pilot. you are not needed to fly. the end.
