it is not in the interest of the CAA and flight schools to tell you there is not a pilot shortage. these $%$%$ make big money from us, and You are the poor guy who are ripped off and keep the flying business in good shape.
Look at all these desperate pilots spending all their money in type rating, they run from Airbus to Boeing, then from Fokker to ATR.Some guys have the courage to go to Africa.
THERE IS NO PILOT SHORTAGE, AND AIRLINES DO NOT NEED YOU.
IF you want spend all your money in a pilot training, go ahead, nobody is forcing you.
