When I say the future of aviation i mean the future pilots, who have just taken a huge stride by spending ample amount of money for their training and are in a no mans' land.
Couple of years ago the scenario was totally different, all the media where flashing the news that the world will soon be facing a huge pilot demand and specially Asia Pacific will need at least 5000 pilots in the next decade. Where have all these media men gone?? Was this a ploy played by the aviation industry to just bring a pay cut to pilots by flooding in too much of pilots?
Pricking thorns to their (pilots) flesh comes US recession, thankx to Mr. Bush. This has brought a huge tumble in the aviation industry, not only the aviation industry even the IT sector has taken a blow. There are 1000's of pilots in India who are jobless and 1000's in foreign countries undergoing training, the sad part is there are still 1000's ready to leave India for their training, out of which 90% are just high school pass out students and unaware of the situation just all in an excitement to get their own wing. But the fact is that there are a few who have already started looking for alternatives other than the aviation industry. Will this scene change?? Will they all be able to at least remember that they are pilots??
