IMHO, there is no shortage of pilotes. There is ,however, a shortage of qualified pilots worldwide. And ,as ATPMBA, put it , since it is about the money, guess what the companies do? they try to reduce the gap between the low qualified and the need to fill their cockpits by reducing the standards for hiring. We are seeing this in the US today and it will get worse before it levels off.I am not sure if it will get better.
I maybe wrong, but if the companies were willing to pay what should be paid, there wouldn't be a shortage.
Interesting times, indeed.
