Hi,
I do happen to know that there is a shortage of BAe146 rated drivers, according to a friend of mine in the 'agency' they can't find Europeans for love nor money..
I don't think the salaries are too bad.. i.e. for what for instance a BAe146 Skipper would receive elsewhere in Europe... I would agree normally about demand artificially exceeding supply, but not in this case!
Just my two cents though!
