Tootle pip!!
I dont claim to have any industry insight into any of this, but that seems to be the general consensus.
So what happens next? Assuming the GA industry isn't coming back to the levels it used to be, how do we bridge the gap and stop airlines claiming a pilot shortage and importing pilots ? (whether they actually get any pilots is another issue).
If airlines can take cadets and put them in the RHS of Dash8's and ATR's, why cant regional airlines like this take 250hr CPL's with MECIR and put them in the RHS?
