Industry Observations - Pilot Shortage Coming or Not?
Quick One, there seems an incredibly large amount of recruiting going on. QF haven't stopped for quite a while, Virgin Blue have been and are just about to get going again, and from what I hear there seems to be quite a few pilots being picked up by several Airlines. Also Cathay, Emirates, Qatar seem to be recruiting aswell.
My question is, do you think there is a pilot shortage coming, if these airlines keep recruiting the way they are. Don't forget that QF seem to be recieving new aircraft gradually over the next 8 years. SIA may come in domestically, and Virgin may go International next year.
Will there be a huge pilot shortage down the bottom in GA soon or am I just thinking wishfully???
cheers
