[SML] Job market

[mouse at fieldmousepro.com]

It seems like there's always a lag for pay rates to adjust to market 
conditions. I would assume that larger employers will have more 
institutional momentum and proportionally longer lag times.

As an example, a good friend of mine is an up-and-coming pilot. The 
shortage of airliner pilots has been coming for some time, and has 
finally started having a real effect on the industry now that it's back 
to pre-pandemic levels of ticket sales. However, the airlines haven't 
really changed their compensation, benefits, or hiring practices to 
attract more people to get into aviation. They're only now just starting 
to talk about changes. It'll take years to come to fruition.

Granted, a big chunk of the hurdles are bureaucratic from the FAA, but 
that's a different discussion (speaking as someone who seriously looked 
into becoming a pilot many years ago, but quickly realized that I didn't 
have the money to play in that field). *cue sad trombone*
