There is, and will be, no 'pilot shortage' as such, at least within UK. There is, however, usually a shortage of high-quality, experienced pilots. There will always be more Wannabes than jobs for low-houred pilots. Only those with exceptional resourcefulness, determination and luck are likely to succeed.
The employment updates issued by BALPA, the IPA and Co-Pilot are paid for by the members of those organisations and are copyrighted. I will not allow them to be 'pirated' here without the express pernission of the copyright owners. Membership of these organisations is cheap for a wannabe - and should be considered compulsory, if you're serious about job-seeking in UK!
