Well, a few numbers. The USA alone will need upwards of 100,000 new pilots in the next 10 years. Asia-Pacific, about 230,000. Both those numbers based on current growth/retirement estimates. For what it's worth, past estimates have been constantly adjusted in an upwards direction. So, CX can continue their head-in-the-sand attitude towards the simple mathematical fact of a growing crewing crisis, or they can finally acknowledge that finding, keeping and benefiting from skilled, well paid pilots is probably a better idea than their current policy of degrading, demoralising and ultimately losing the pilots they currently employ. I am holding my breath.
