There has always been this perception amongst airline management that all you had to do was shake the tree and any number of highly qualified pilots would drop out just dying to work for you .
That is no longer the case , there are now vacancies everywhere ,I have never seen so many jobs advertised on the Internet . Airlines are running short of one vital commodity "PILOTS" , especially trained pilots . It takes years to train a pilot to a suitable standard and new pilots are being put off entering the workplace due to high training costs , poor starting salaries , and lousy working conditions .
So where the airlines are going to get pilots over the next 15 years I do not know
