Mmmm... Lost me with the "sizzle" I'm afraid?
What I think rocket66 is trying to say is that we may very well end up with a greater shortage of pilots in the future than what the airlines are spinning today.
Quite ironic when you consider the BS and creative accounting of the short-sighted, bonus driven, corporate memory deprived D!ckhe@ds that are steering airline pilot recruitment down this path. The employment of Cadets is not the issue. The employment of Cadets, mired in debt and trapped in an ever decreasing standard of living, is.
Keep going boys, by the time this all pans out, the profession of pilot will be about as popular as that of a Railway station Toilet Attendant! Mind you, by the time it starts to sink in, the architechs of this folly will be long gone, and the imbeciles that allowed it to happen will be left looking at each other and wondering what the hell went wrong!
