If you think I am gonna answer THAT question you're NUTS

I am simply suggesting that airline growth in Australia cannot continue without experienced pilots (edit: and engineers) to ensure that growth is a safe as reasonably possible.

Companies are shouting from the roof tops that we are in a pilot shortage crisis...the experience IS available but they, demonstably, don't want to pay for it.

Companies like Rex are the first being impacted, and so far the most vocal, but it WILL flow uphill.

How long do you reckon that is sustainable?

Take a look at all the threads on this type of topic and then sit back and take a holistic overview of where our industry is likely heading. There is a LOT of smoke out there...you betting there are no flames?

Because I am in the industry I hear more than you likely do in the RAAF...and WAAAYYY more than makes it on these pages..like I said, if you think I am going to post specifics on a public forum you're nuts.
