    Here We Go Again, Pilot Shortages Predicted

    in Aviation Enthusiasts

    Posted

    Anyone see parallels between this discussion and the one coming from the mining industry? Specifically a bunch of people with the urge but not a lot of experience on one side and a bunch of other people with a very specific agenda on the other.I assure you all the IT industry isn't much better, at least not today.

    The shortage of numbers in the mining industry is mostly driven by training organisation propoganda. They offer 5day courses for operator training and inductions for thousands of dollars and they are not worth a pinch of crap. In mining it really does come down to who you know or where you live to break into the industry. Not doing a $5000 course and living in the burbs of Brisbane waiting for a call to go FIFO. At the end of the day experience is the key word!

     

    Look whats happening now, coal prices drop, new taxes introduced = redundencies.

     

    I considered moving into aviation but it would take me 20 years (if im lucky) to earn the coin im on now, I also love flying, and if i made flying my job well it would just be another job wouldnt it !
