It`s not a myth. It`s a fact , but only for those crap companies which pay such an ofensive salary to their pilots. Sometimes in crap places.
Ar asia is one of those school jobs. People go there to get their 500 hrs as a F/O or their move to LHS and leave.
Indeed some leave without saying a word.
The same happens in India. Another crap place , with crap contracts and most of them crap companies. Of course they are short of pilots .
There are places in the world that people has to be pais not only to fly , but also to go and stay there.
The very good contracts keep people and they only recruit more when more airplanes are about to come.
So, stop paying peanuts and you`ll see you`ll have pilots.And keep them.
