And do you think they will do that? Flying schools are commercial businesses, and the more they train the more profit they make. There has been a surplus of commercial pilots for decades. The job situation has never been as good as it is now since the mid sixties. There really is no shortage of CPL holders now either. It is about how it should be. Qualified people can get jobs.
Will it stay this way? Yes, for as long as it takes to train more.
It has been said that airlines select about one out of every hundred applicants.
I wish all the trainees well, and I can understand how HECS etc would be a great help. But do your research first. Are those golden, skygod jobs really so easy to get?
