listen to experience
Nice statement... Wirbelsturm!
listen to pilots who know the business :-) ... Also my colleagues from the LTU/airberlin who fly since the 80s say that there never really was a shortage (besides 2006).
Since decades the press is writing about pilot's shortage and I dont know how much they get from the Flight Schools.
A man working for the german employment agency for pilots in Frankfurt told me that the years ending with a six (1976,1986,1996,2006) are the good years. Letīs see what is happening in 2016.
Germanys working agency counts around 1000 jobless pilots. But 3000 licence holders have a job as Ramp Agents, McDonalds, Cabin Crew or something else. In the Netherlands there are 2000 pilots not working in a Flightdeck.
Good luck for you all
