Addressoneof the following, and include which one you are discussing at the top of your post:

• Age: There is controversy around the speculation/confirmation of the number of airline pilots available and forthcoming to fly commercial service aircraft. One option to mitigate this dilemma is to increase the mandatory retirement age limit from 65 to 67 years of age. What is your opinion? Is this a potential safety issue for commercial aviation?
• Training: Many industry experts debate if the pilot shortage exists. Historically, the career path to an airline or Air Transport Pilot status (the people who pilot scheduled airline activities) has either been through aviation university programs, general aviation career progression, or military flight experience. Those business models are changing drastically. For example, the United States military is successfully enticing their respective pilot cadres to remain by offering substantial retainment bonuses and/or salary hikes. One major U.S. airline, United Airlines, opened a Flight Academy in Arizona to specifically train the future pilots of United Airlines to meet this demand. Consider the pros and cons of a flight academy model for training future pilots.
