RE: Airplane Pilots next 20 years.
I remember when I started flight school a long long time ago. They said all this crap about pilot shortages and the need for pilots and there were not enough pilots and the huge money pilots made.
Hate to say it but it was all crap. There has never been a pilot shortage, and probably won't be. There are a lot of pilots out there who fly for free for a few years to get enough hours to apply, and then don't make it. Many pilots make great money after they have been there forever, but not all. All that get hired will fly for next to nothing the first couple years and get raises over the next few, but you don't start making really good money for many years, and every airline pilot you talk to whines about being under paid any more.
Its the best job in the world next to private jets if you can make the cut!
