Hi!
That IS correct, they can NOT man their own airlines.
China needs 9,000 airline pilots in the next 3 years. THey produce 1,000 per year.
India is worse:
They need 11,000 airline pilots in the next 3 years.
Last year, they produced 150.
Asia is forecast to increase the number of freighter aircraft by 340%, to 419, through 2020. Who will fly them?
