figures:
986 cpl's =
-150 odd to CSWAFC (supposed to increase from when i was there)
- 80 odd to SIA
- 80 odd to bae etc
- 60 odd to indian training program
= thats getting close to half without considering the foreigners here on student visas...
Now lets compare that to the other end of the Australian employment scale
In 2006 QF put on "0" pilots- Don't expect 2007 to too exciting either. And they still have sh!tloads on file if and when the big pilot dry comes- not including the ongoing cadet program.
Plenty of Jobs O/S at the moment though. Pay rises with other large airlines and very quick commands at some of the emerging start ups.
Good luck to all, if you are both patient and persistant you will achieve your goals
