Adios,

Bealzebub's example interprets that theoretical demand into a per country demand for flightcrew. And, as Bealzebub states, its a dated report projecting an optimistic view of the market from a self interested viewpoint. A demand that commercial training organisations are keen to perpetuate also.

The amount of people being issued with a CPL in no way reflects jobs or demand, purely the output of FTOs. A CPL has never been a guarantee of a job. Your post serves to highlight that the vast majority undertaking training at this time simply do not understand this fact and interpret any report as justification for pushing ahead and entering an industry at a time of unprecedented stagnation.
