If you read the recent prognosed pilot demand worldwide, I think P2f days must soon be over. There is already a pilot shortage in some parts of the world, off course you should be already Type rated and possibly experienced to get there by now, but even then as people move there, elsewhere positions start to get available or upgrades become closer to others. So, in my opinion, soon regional barriers, like specific country licenses or imigration/emplyoment restrictions will ease and plenty of oportunities will show up for those who are flexible to relocate. On the other hand as shortage appears to get a threat trainingprocedures may change, in order to get more people trained in less time at lower cost, think of MPL e.g. .So those who sell their soul to get the job now and get themselves ripped off on the way to find themselves with nothing in the end are the solely responsibles for their own misery, I understand though there is a multitude of special cases, and Im aware how the industry took advantage of the market situation until now.
