That is the only time that I can recall we have had a serious pilot shortage here in the UK, due to BA restarting recruitment in 1986 after a 10 year hiatus which hoovered up pilots from the charters and turboprop companies, but was rather unfortunately followed by the 1990 ERM led recession and subsequent property market crash, then the collapse of Air Europe followed by Dan Air and which reduced airline recruitment to a trickle until 1996.
Didn't stop Cabair advertising courses for the "predicted 1993 pilot shortage" (there wasn't one)
