This pilot shortage bleating is a joke!!!!
I can't believe that "studies" are being conducted to remedy the situation!
To anyone who has recruited pilots for the past 20 years. Here is a solution to your dire problem of attracting pilots.
Take a good hard look at how you have treated pilots (or any other abundant staff for that matter) for the past 20 years. Consider this treatment and DO EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE.
Paying poorly.................................Pay better
Crap rosters..................................Good rosters
No response to applications............. Respond to your wannabees
Dangerous machines........................Good machines
Shafting........................................No shafting!
No bullsh&t studies or management love-ins required. No headscratching. No puzzled, lost gaze when asked by shareholders "how are you going to attract pilots?"
How do you think the IT industry has managed to attract so many people to spend a lifetime staring at a screen, nursing piles and stomach ulcers? Money and lifestyle!
Where's that brown dog?
