It’s not the holds that are a problem, it’s just the numbers that are. Have a look at this:
https://assets.publishing.service.go...7505/11485.pdf
It shows the 2018 Pilot gain as 70, and the Total Outflow at 7.4% with a Workforce Requirement of 2040 (strength is 1600 - 440 short). So that is 70 in and 150 out - a loss of 80 when you are in deficit of 440!!! The WSO/WSOp won’t be much better looking at the outflow rates, the training rates and the current demographic. All shown in the above link.
