We all keep on saying that but is it true???
So far nothing has happened, no flights where cancelled or airplanes grounded.
Leaves have been allocated and given as planned in most cases, even to the FOs.
Ok, on A330 things are a bit stressed at the moment but still, most of the FOs I fly with did an average of 70hrs last month. If you fly with a new joiner you migh hear him having reached almost 900Hrs but the more senior guys never reach this.
So how exactly did you figure out we have a pilot shortage?
