That shortage of pilots must be on the moon I guess...
I know what sort of $hit they feed these CTC wannabes with... Telling them that in countries like Vietnam theres not enough pilots. I heard my self one CTC studnet telling annother guy that even in such a bad times you can still get a job on a jet in places like Vietnam and live "like a king" over there. I do not say that all CTC are as much naive as this guy but just ask you self what would you say/do to wannabes if you were to be in the schools owner shoes???
Yeah, right
There might have NOT enough LOCAL pilots in Vietnam as people over there have no ways/money to train, but just have a look at their minimums.
Stop listening to all the rubbish that CTC people are telling you, of course they not going to tell you that once pool gets too big and people are there for too long, they will be removed (this might happen at the end of the day).
