MAS:Needs Pilot Very Soon

So much hype about Air Asia Recruitment but Big Brother MAS is in dire need of Pilots too, especially co pilots.
Last month, tried to recruit direct intake pilots (30 or so) but only 19 turn up. All were recruited.
With A380 coming in 2006/7 and pilots retiring at max 60 yrs old, shortage at that time will be approx 200 slots.
But then the management do not readily accept the fact that shortage is very imminent. Trying hard to be popular in cost cutting, I believe. But Panic will set in very soon as gathered from internal sources.

Try your luck,guys
