The real scandal is that there seems to be NO shortage of pilots willing to purchase a job and then work for a salary that just isn't viable.
It's great to see that BALPA are pushing this issue and that major media groups are interested in the story. However, the real issue is not a shortage of pilots. It's one of flight safety, as previously risk averse airlines clamber to recruit experience free rich kids who are willing to purchase airline jobs like trial lessons.
