Unemplyment
I am here quoting “ GlueBall”
This is a sweeping generalization, because "worsening conditions" in euroland are not universal.
Better to qualify your statement and say that: Many pilots are leaving aviation because they don't want to work in China in Korea, in Vietnam, or in the desert . . . where plenty of jobs are available for current and qualified expats.
Pilot Jobs, Aviation Jobs, Aviation Employment, Career Fairs, Job Fairs
I must say that I do not agree with your statement at all.
The reason it is simple, companies keep advertising for pilots because this is one manner for them to make their statistics of the actual market conditions so they can do some “work” on the amount of salaries and benefits.
You are taking for granted the fact that there are advertisements for jobs and that ALL pilots will be employed which this is not to happen.
And I am not talking about selection process here.
Another matter is that companies still practicing age discrimination with older and very experienced pilots, because all of the advertisements the requirements are well below 60, therefore if you account to that “silent mass” of unemployed pilots, you certainly might discover the figures are bigger.
Certainly the world is not made exclusively of young people…
