Are Australian flying instructors being "poached" by airlines?
The Australian (20 April 2018) Aviation Editor Annabel Hepworth writes "the push comes amid a shortage of flight instructors in which airlines have been poaching flight instructors to work as pilots."
While her comment may reflect the situation in USA, it does not happen in Australia, so why imply it is the case here? The average flying instructor in Australia would be utterly delighted to be asked to join an airline; both for the pleasure of flying an airliner and the excellent terms and conditions. They don't need to be "poached."
