Unwilling to work for peanuts = Shortage
>When the average wage for an FI exceeds the national average yearly wage then we can talk >about shortage.Many FIs earn no more than the average office cleaner - so according to the law >of supply and demand it hardly classifies as a shortage occupation..
>Its just that people dont like working for peanuts esp when they have massive debt.................
Some factors by observation that influnce FI numbers
1. Older FIs retiring
2. Silly exam system much like the IR that puts people off
3. Low salary / Pension
4. Higher UK debt and the need to service loans
5. Widening technological gulf and lack of credit for experience (Airline vs GA)
6. Some FIs leaving to find other work (some to airlines)
7. Very poor perceived career prospects
8. Elderly GA fleets worldwide - unpleasant working environment
9. Implementation of MPL Sub part K Lasors and a further separation in value of GA vs. airline experience
10. People talking on the internet and being unimpressed by what was once 'good enough'
