One thing we must realize, is that the rest of the world has been doing this for years. When I was in flight school, I remember seeing many foreign students (Chinese,European...etc) That would leave after thier Comm.ME and go fly the big iron, I always felt it was just a matter of time before this country caught up to the world standard.
I mean look at Cathay Pacific, Shenzen, British Airways and the rest. Those guys take 250tt like you breath in air, don't think about it, and could care less. They only care if the canidate can fly the A/C to thier requirments.
Hopefully, as this shortage become more severe, it will put upward pricing pressure on salaries, benefits, etc.
