My quick question is, excluding China, can anyone identify a pilot contract in the world where this pilot shortage is evident?
Europe pays an average of 5/6000 eur for a captain doing 900 hrs per year, North and South America are a closed and saturated market, middle east is a bit better but still way lower than China, and the rest of the far east (Singapore, Japan etc..) doesn't look too desperate either.
Like I said the only shortage I see is in China, the rest looks like only words to me..
