You mean only 5% of CPLs striving for the airlines actually make it? Are there heaps of CPLs who have the quals to fly jets, but don't get in because of the sheer numbers? What if one got type rated?
Would pilots get knocked back by the airlines for medical reasons even if they had a class 1 medical?
What is the differential factor between the people of the 5% and the people in the 95%?
Are there better prospects for OZ pilots in the US or Europe?
