It really is like flogging a dead horse!
The problem is a pilot SHORTAGE!!!
The only way to avoid cancelling services and parking aircraft is to retain your "Experienced crews".
If there was something better on offer, but no shortage of new recruits, fine.
If there was a shortage of new recruits but little opportunities elsewhere, also fine.
The problem of course is now we have both, and that is virtually unprecedented in our professional lifetimes!
We've led them to the water, they're dying of thirst, and they still won't drink! Maybe it's natural selection?
Probably time to sit back and watch the show. And what an interesting show it will be!
