Yes, it is incredibly frustrating but don't wait for it to change because you'll be pushing up daisies by then.
I guess we' ll see what happens. Never say never, if they need people they need people. And if not enough are willing to train for a year to go back in time to the 1980s then things will have to change. Quicker training and modern aircraft.
Like I said we' ll see what happens, but one thing is for sure, this is a great job in a great company in a great country, so good luck to all wishing to join.
