Gotta love the quote: Rob Clarke, Group CEO of CTC Aviation said “The airline industry has been predicting an impending pilot shortage for some time now"

CTC hogwash!
Some folk on here have got the wrong end of the stick. CTC are not in the business of training for the FAA ATP. The only benefit of their "European" flight school is it might give a few jobs to US FAA rated flying instructors who are working towards their 1500h.
That rule is now in force and congress made it mandatory with the ruling passed in 2013.
Not even CTC have deep enough pockets to change US Law.
The MPL requires 70 to 100 h of actual flight and its much cheaper to do that in sunny western desert USA than EU. Another blow to EU GA.
Canada are reticent on MPL but happy for foreigners to train at Canadian schools for ICAO MPL. Their own carriers demand much higher flying hours and greater evidence of airmanship to fly in Canada.
In the USA, there are military cutbacks but many mil aviators are being retained so expect more civi pilots in cockpits. It used to be 70% mil 30%civi. But the ratio is now reversed.

Angelorange I pointed this out in the very first reply to the thread and then again a few posts later. People are too whipped up in the hysteria to allow it to register or listen to it.
