g'day
One flying school (no names) that could be refered to `pumping `em out' still has the same commercial pilot brochure as when there was a shortage (a few years ago). It went along the lines of `there is no better time' refering to how many of their pilots were getting employed in the G.A. companies because of the movement in the industry....
Maybe there is a shortage, you just have to think laterally and realize you may not be flying aeroplanes when you get your first job in the industry.
