A study just came out by a leading consulting firm that there is a drastic shortage of pilots in the region, with the number of pilots required in the GCC to increase by 75% by 2020.
Presumably this is fantastic news for pilots!
I'm a reporter with Arabian Business and am interested in comments from pilots.
Do you believe there's a projected shortage of talent in the region?
Are many of you coming from abroad for better opportunities here?
Do you feel that airlines poach off each other?
Are airlines increasing compensation packages to retain pilots?
We could speak over the phone as well (no need for mentioning which airline you work for of course!).
Below is a link about the report.
