Airline face looming shortage of pilots, warns CTC Aviation
There just under 150,000 commericla jet pilots but another 235,000 are needed over the next seven years

It may cost £89,800 for the two years training but few qualifications promise the same heady cocktail of glamour, job security and potential £50,000 starting salary as that of a trained pilot.
Moreover, according to one of the world's top training companies, "there has never been a better time to be a pilot".

CTC Aviation, which has placed pilots with the likes of British Airways, easyJet and Qatar Airways, said the airline industry is facing a looming skills shortage - in the cockpit.
