Is there really a pilot shortage?
Anyone care to predict how long REX has got before it folds due to pilots shortages?
Just for the record I applied to all majors here in Oz & even both the regionals (REX especially seeing as I can't spell, QF would rather spelling geeks than pilots) not too long ago actually (& I am not the only one that did like wise in my circle of slightly older pilots) & with close to 30 yrs for me in the flying game not one here in OZ ever got back to me.
It doesn't really bother me now & that's a fact 'cause I rarely mention it here or even in convo with friends these days but I still have a somewhat mystical look upon my face when I read the airlines, the numerous news clippings all saying that it's getting almost to desperate levels for pilots!
Nah there's no shortage, it's a Myth.
