There will NEVER be a shortage of such pilots.
You know how long it takes to turn a
college-educated private pilot with 80 hours into a
commercial/multi/IFR/CFI/CFII/MEI? 90 days. AllATP's does it all the
time. With that short a pipeline, what makes you think there could
ever be a shortage?

Yup. And even the college requirement (for airlines) is just a way to winnow
the glut of qualified applicants. Nothing about flying requires more than a
high-school education.
