CAA don't help. Plenty of folk out there with lapsed IRs but don't want the pain/expense of sitting exams again and spending £20,000 to renew
I also think there is a problem with recruitment from the "interviewing" side. When most AA chief pilots are ex-mil, they end up hiring people who are like them and have similar background. Same in all industries. People hire people like themselves, and this gets perpetuated, thus narrowing the pool of people who apply or get considered.
