500 mainline pilots required in next 4 years.
This to account for the A380's and 787's arriving, 5 extra A330's with accelerated delivery schedule, no pensioning off the 767's due to Tiger, extra 737-800's plus no further 737's to be retired.
This does not take into account the 787's to Jetstar. God knows where they are going to get the pilots from, but it also means that pilots will industrially be in a much stronger position, provided we can keep it all together chaps!
