Seems like there is a huge supply of CPL holders but a massive shortage of experienced pilots.

Cheers

Hi,
Not really surprised to hear that actually. With Ga so common in a country like aus, many people will have the opportunity to learn flying. Getting their CPL is like a routine for pilot wanabe. The difficult part is, after you got your license, which company is going to give you the chance for a jet upgrade? With advertisment going for people with 1500 hours and Jet experience needed, how as a young and innocent CPL holder with 200 hours going to cling to that job? Thats why there is a bottleneck senario where more and more wanabees are stuck at the CPL (200hrs) level and not many with experience.

It just happen so in malaysia and singapore, GA is still like a growing industry, not as big as aus, thats why there are still quite good opportunity to explore even with low hours..so better work hard, this scene might not be so in a couple of years time i feel.
