<<The shortage of pilots is looming large>>
If I had a pound for everytime I have heard that argument I would be a very very very rich man..... I have said it myself. Unfortunately every time it gets close to a sustained pilot shortage, some nutter or group of nutters (US presidents not excluded) foils our masterplan to make our profession a wanted one. The fact that experienced jet rated ATPLs are still paying for specific type ratings to join a company says it all!
