The aviation industry is dead.
$400,000 to get $50,000 a year job. Everyone knows how bad the conditions are as pilots.
In Europe, Ryan air has been in the papers every day for the last 2 month highlighting the horrible conditions for flight crews.
100,000 for a job with bad pay and employers that treat you badly. Eurowing has new contracts for A320 pilots- 2000€ per month. Who would want to become a pilot?
The atc recruitment in Europe is struggling. They don't have enough applications to fill the courses. Everyday there are ads on facebook for flight crew and atc.
This will take a decade to correct.
