Warning to Airlines: Flight Instructor Shortage Could Create Long-Term Problems

Why would any intelligent teenager....spend $80,000 on a four year degree, another $50,000 for an airline transport pilot certificate, only to take a job that starts at $18,000/year....with little upside salary potential? I wouldn't want anyone with that level of judgment as the captain of my airplane.
My son wanted to follow me into the aviation career field. After watching what happened to my salary, my pension, and my medical benefits in the last three years, he wanted no part of it.
He's choosing to be a doctor instead.
