There will have to be a big crash before anyone in authority does something about p2f and airlines full of captains who have only been a pilot for 3 years. Shame it has to be this way but it's the only way people will listen.

I was reading a blog the other day and somebody said there will be a shortage of pilots in the business jet area. Apparently something like 96% of FTO graduates head to airlines rather than private jets and they will have to encourage new pilots to head into that industry within a few years. Don't know what data is behind those stats though.
