PM,
I'd suggest that won't be the defining criterion for a "shortage". Too many causes for flights being cancelled...even on a wide scale.
Who's going to give the factual information ?
Are airline managements to be trusted to admit they don't have pilots to fly the business plans ? And admit to their own bungling ? Over a rather long time frame ?
What would shareholders and Boards of Directors say to that ?
The answer makes management's blood run cold.
So, the blame is officially assigned to factors management can't control...or claim they can't.
Isn't this fun ? I'm rather enjoying all of the turmoil. Aren't you ?
