Shortage?
Are there any pilots who have applied to airlines and not got in, or had a reply? Is there a real shortage, or is this just a scheme to get government to foot the bill for basic training, type endorsement etc?
How many CPL's can our flying schools and MPL schools turn out per year for our own airlines?
Airlines will never pay decent wages if they can persuade enough people to train at their own, or government expense so they can have a large pool of wannabies parked in GA until they need them.
They have almost destroyed GA by doing that, and it is now affecting the regionals.
Flying schools and our airlines have killed the goose that laid the golden egg.
