Interesting Take on Pilot Demand - Flight international Comment

According to 27th May edition, some airlines are having to cut back schedules due to a lack of pilots. Mentions Ryan, American regionals and JAL as suffering from problems.

It goes into whether the 15 year predicted shortfall in pilots is actually starting to happen; apparently all efficiencies of scale have now been realized, the effects of 9.11, extensions in pilot maximum woking age are now smoothed out.

Thoughts? Considering jumping ship from current employer who are currently bricking it as a result of briefed expected outflows to greener grass at the same time as requiring expansion of numbers.
