Boeing reduces forecast for European pilot demand

Today Boeing issued a statement saying they have increased their forecast for pilots globally BUT not for Europe where the forecast has reduced.

Perhaps they starting to realise that although they have plenty of orders the older planes are not going to go somewhere else but simply retired early and dare I say it but perhaps a load of order cancellations will come soon??

What do you guys think, are the likes of Wizz Air with quite a few outstanding A320's and Norwegian with a huge order book really going to take on all these aircraft? I guess Norwegian are in fact hoping to profit from Asian carriers buying their production slots?
