Its already too late...... 10 Capts waiting for sim slots will be leaving in the next few months. Currently there are 6 F/O's with the requirements for command upgrade - so I'm told. Now Lidbury wants to know "is this pilot shortage real?" I want to know if HE is for real................Services already being cancelled in record numbers and Dash 8's parked with no crew. Wonder how their bonuses are looking?
