Instructor shortage.......at a club near you soon !
I don't think that it has happened yet but it will only take a slight improvement in the economy to set the airlines recruting ( remember each extra airliner requires 7 crews, 14 pilots).
So the pilot glut we have at the moment will turn into a shortage very quickly, of course the HR departments will tell you that they have hundreds of CV's on file and so think at pilots are ten a penny but as usual the numptys have failed to see that they all have the same CV's on file..............
The result of this is that young instructors will move on quickly and new pilots will have to fly with old gits like me when I get to old to fly for the airlines.
