Here's the way I see it. I fly for a regional and (given the chance) and proper pay, I'd go be a flight instructor in a heartbeat. For that to happen this is what would have to happen:
1. Pay at least $70K a year.
2. Have at least 2 weekends off a month
3. Work for a decent employer that respects safety and pilot decision making
Pilot shortage? Nope. Shortage of people willing to work for peanuts? YES!
Pilot shortage, how long?

Re: Pilot shortage, how long?
I believe you can get every weekend off along with great pay if you go instruct out of Southport doing the military ppl’s

The dark side? You have to live in the Peoples Soviet Republic of Manisnowbastan where the two seasons are bugs and -40C windchill and the income tax rates are almost as bad as Atlantic Canada.

Some live in Winterpeg and do the 45-60 minute commute and some live in Portage la Paradise, home of the world's largest Coke can.
