Personally the market is short of ‘experienced’ pilots, but the other question is ‘what is an experienced pilot?’
At my current outfit, we have 2 lines of recruitment, which is DEFO 3,000hrs+ or a cadet. There are a few who come DEC, like myself, but this is rare within the industry now.
The other aspect of this is the region in the world, each region is different, Asia, for example is forever recruiting and looking for ‘experienced’ pilots..
So it brings me back to my initial point, someone define to me what an ‘experienced’ pilot is!
