1) Training is extremely expensive and finding funding for flight training is nearly impossible. Major training FTO's are being approached by multiple airlines to produce an impossible number of new blood. Highest bidder wins.
who cares, parents will still pay megabucks for their spoiled kids...
2) Air Forces are shrinking at an alarming rate due to massive cut backs and the introduction of UAVs.
still, pilots will fly on the ground, they can log these hours as flight hours...
3) The world wide retirement age is now 65. Many carriers were 50 at one point, moved to 55/60 and now on to 65. THIS AGE CHANGE CAN’T CONTINUE
oh yes it will continue, no limit,based on your 1 st class
4) Some countries are facing massive retirement bubbles (USA) due to demographics.
doesn't mean they need pilot!!
5) The manufacturers of aircraft (today along with the FAA) are predicting massive growth in the next 10-20 years.
in 20 years, you will be too old. another BS from manufacturers...how they can predict the futur in 10 years if people drop bombs on their neighbour?
6) We have just gone though the largest recession this new generation of pilots may ever see.
pilots recession or P2f recession??
