What exactly do you think they say which purports to be “accurate information” to tempt the perspective junior birdmen?
As I understand it. The law requires marketing to be accurate. FTO's cannot make statements like Pilot shortage whether it be in literature or verbally during an open day. All the evidence from the last 30 years points against a Pilot shortage. Semi Autonomous biz jets already exist, Boeing and Airbus are both targeting semi Autonomous Aircraft in the near term.
Over the last 30 years, 4 events have caused years of Pilot glut. The only thing that FTO's can guarantee is the possibility of a good career. Not the probability. If they have delivered for you personally then you're lucky.
They should just exist as training organisations without all of this false advertising. Like they did in the old days.
