good stuff

Fed up 1
Your letter on post 2 is extremely valuable. Finally someone has "told it as it is". Most posts on here ammount to "how can I get a bigger aeroplane to fly, and lots more money", and not much more. Yours is different.
Your letter gives an overall view of employment in the airline industry as it is today.
You should send it to the universities and flying schools that are involved, and the government occupational guidance organisations. The wannabies need to know about these things. They have a right to know. And I bet you will find they get a very different story.
And the government will only act on what they think they know. And what they think they know almost certainly comes from the recruiters.
Please distribute this information as widely as possible.
Thank you.
