Please stop this ridiculous pilot shortage talk. Its not here, not coming and there are plenty of highly qualified guys looking for decent jobs.
The title of this thread is "World Wide
Hiring Boom" it is about new opportunities opening up in the international market, nobody has speculated that there aren't enough pilots to cover the demand.
Not here and won't until they(airlines) start increasing salaries to attract individuals.
The opportunities opening up are with better T&C's that the ones offered since the economical downturn, that is a a clear indication that they want to attract qualified candidates
