Default 340,000 Pilots Needed For The Next 20 Years?

(in article ):

Boeing alleges that 340,000 pilots will be needed to fill the seats of
the aircraft currently on order. No wonder they want to take over our
nation's ATC system:


Not a problem. There will still be more than a million pilots willing to fly
for free.


Does anyone else find that lowering the bar for pilot training in the
name of necessity to fill the cockpits of airliners currently on order
is a recipe for reduced air safety?


I am not sure that this program constitutes lowering the bar.
