If your figure of 68 pilots per country were meaningful, not only would Cabair and PTC have gone bust long ago, so would have CTC, OAA, Stella, CAE Multi-Flight, BCFT and many others. Any one of the big schools trained well in excess of 68 pilots a year and some do four times that many. If only 68 a year from the above schools were getting jobs, we'd not be having this discussion because they wouldn't exist. Bear in mind that the growth forecast from Boeing and Airbus haven't even happened yet, so you probably should chop the 68 down to 30-40, making it even less like there'd be any FTOs left. You too have manipulated statistics.
Yes, you have rather missed the point I think! But thank you for pointing that out.
