I can totally understand how the shortage forecast is the stuff of wet dreams for training school owners and airline CEOs to keep students coming in the doors and to keep Ts and Cs down for the fortunate few employed pilots.
However ICAO are behind this forecast and I can’t figure out why they would want to keep training schools full and Ts and Cs down.
Maybe I’m missing something.
No, some people talking at a conference organised by ICAO were behind the forecast. This is very different.
I've talked on BBC Newsnight about why certain accidents might have occurred. At the end of the day, you heard it from me, not from the BBC. On at-least one occasion the official accident report proved me completely wrong.
