There is no shortage of pilots. I have been flying since 1973 and heard that rumor several time
but the working condition have been reduced every year
Talking about Japan it is sad to say that in the low cost airlines,it is Skymark which have the best working condition but still, they have reduced them since 2004
Peach,Vanilla, Jetstar Japan have difficulty to find pilots. ?? why. ?? their accomodation, travelling, basic salary, ect ect is even less than Skymark. Everybody want experience pilots but they d ont want to pay for it
Who is interested to spend 6 months on training at a reduced salary, whitout going home at least one time, and at the end, having a Sim test with the crasy JCAB, and after your OJT having another check with JCAB
No there is no shortage of pilot, since the age restriction is still at 60 in China and Vietnam
and both of those. countries are looking for experience pilots all the time
The working condition did not change since at least 10 years in Vietnam, Japan, Korea
Same salary, same holliday
