I think there could possibly be a shortage of experienced Captain in the next two years. The Middle Eastern carriers have made very deep Pilot cuts and I’m pretty sure once demand picks up, which it will, and covid is a distant memory these Middle Eastern carriers will be desperate for Pilots. I feel many won’t return due to retirement and the treatment they have received during the covid crisis. The only realistic way to entice pilots will be to pay astronomical amounts of money. This in my view will create a shortage of high hour Captains in Europe. It’s always supply and demand that dictates salaries, not HR.
