The RFDS are not short of crew, they are just short of the crew who will stay on a pittance. They are unwilling to do what any reasonable and sensible business would do and offer what it takes to attract and retain such essential specialist employees. They would rather bleat about an imaginary pilot shortage. Time to look at management I would think.
Ex airline pilots are not the answer, we know how that goes!
