Cadets have been selected over experienced candidates in order to keep FTO's training. |

Didn't stop Cabair advertising courses for the "predicted 1993 pilot shortage" (there wasn't one) Economic confidence is all important. |

No, they have not. Nothing to do with keeping FTOs in business. They have been selected because they are cheaper - and possibly a revenue stream through charging for the type rating.

Might retirements and expansion be a reason to employ the next generation of junior birdmen?

1. Completion of Lockdown. Summer 2020: Initiation of domestic flights. Some regional flights. 2. Vaccine distributed. Autumn 2021: Initial resumption of worldwide schedule (25% of 2019) 3. Peak Travel. Summer 2022: Initial return to travel by consumers (50% of 2019) 4. 2022 to 2025. Gradual return to normal at a increase of 20% per year (That's based on expanding an Airline from 1997 to 2000 in the States. 20% per year was the best we could do given training requirements). 5. Pilot retirement age will need to be increased as a result of lost time.That will slow entry of young people. If I was young, I'd plan on having my licence and being ready to go for 2026. I have tried to be realistic, I don't think that there is any agenda here. |

I suspect the first Gulf War, August 1990 had an impact on aviation travel.

Yes that too. Many will not remember how desperate the situation was in the early 90 s with airline sponsorships ending and fewer people being able to self sponsor due to interest rates peaking at 16%
A first time buyer in 1986 with no track record but a secure job the mortgage rate was 15% in some cases. Post first Gulf War in 1990, recruitment took a long time to recover. This present tsunami is different, but only economic confidence will restore this awful situation for aviation. |
