Mervyn Granshaw from BALPA is quoted in Flight International last week as saying

"...all UK airlines are predicting growth over the coming year. However, the number of new pilots is not keeping up with demand. There is a continuing labour supply issue...."
Reading these boards, and from personal experience, that is not the impression I get. It is often quoted on here that there never has been and never will be a shortage of low houred pilots, so where does MG get his information from ? There are more than enough "new pilots" out there to meet the demand, otherwise we would all have jobs.
