there is a pilots shortage actually, airlines ask for 3000-4000 eavy jet, with this kind of requirement, they are looking everwhere for pilots and then say they are desperated, but when you go see interviewers, the do not give a **** about you and bring on his desk the 2000-3000 CV.
this is the market, and as I have said in one of my posts, the world has a pool of pilots for many years.I think we are more than 15000 pilots only for Europe and airlines will just keep their minimum requirement at 2000-3000 hours.
this is like cinema in LA, many actors, few will be on the big screen.the rest of them will live with small jobs like taxi driver, truck driver,...or for bad paid TV advertising jobs.Still , hollywood say they have a shortage of actors...
and soon the car industry will say the same after kicking out 30'000 of workers.
about the job at ryanair, this is reserved for fortunate people, yes, they pay well (pilots pay well their Orealy!!)
unfortunately, I am too old to join them, but would I??? certainly not.
do not give up, airlines have a shortage of pilots....
