Training organisations will always tell you there is a pilot shortage to keep their businesses going.

If we can get more aviation businesses going like transport and freight to create a need for newly trained pilots then you’re not wasting your money on training. There are still heaps of fully trained pilots out of work but no where to go.

If you’re going to learn to fly do it for the fun of it as a private pilot. We need to crank up the old fly clubs again and bring the fun of recreational flying back into GA and the local community. The AUF have taken what use to be General Aviations main strength of social and recreational flying.
