Aircraft, there is a global shortage of pilots which is clearly evident. PIA planes grounded due lack of crew, Thai developing new cadetship, Emirates battling to find enough pilots, Gulf establishing an Australian base, China Southern recruiting Aus capts, Dragon poaching A320 rated aussies, and more a more LCC offering bonds now for expensive endorsements. You think the global frenzy is due to a pilot surpluss? come off it. And Australia won't be immune to the shortage. Pick up the Australian on friday and read the aviation job adverts. Theres no surpluss of pilots, theres a shortage.
