Hej
Trots att det finns en stor efterfrågan på piloter internationellt så har Thailand 600-700 nyutexaminerade piloter som har svårt att hitta jobb, ändå utbildas alltfler piloter i landet, ett skäl till att så många Thailändska piloter saknar jobb är att utbildningarna i många fall inte lever upp till internationell standard, sen söker ju dom internationella flygbolagen erfarna piloter och inte nyutexaminerade.
Airlines don't want Thai pilots

Thai pilots are failing to find work after graduation despite high global demand in the aviation industry, the Civil Aviation Training Centre president said on Monday.
International airline operators are competing to offer jobs to pilots, but “our pilotsfind no jobs”, according to Piya Atmungkun.
Between 600 and 700 newly graduated pilots are struggling to find work in cockpits, he said.
Aviation programmes and pilot training schools have mushroomed, but many fail to meet international standards, according to RAdm Piya.
New pilots are being churned out continually without information of how many of them are actually employable by airline companies. This has led to the oversupply of pilots who aren't up to scratch, he said.
“The picture of the Thai aviation industry is being distorted by the claim that we lack pilots,” RAdm Piya said. "It's true there is a scarcity of pilots, but that demand is for experienced, not new, pilots."
He believes a plan to establish a “city of aviation” in the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) will only increase the supply of domestic aviation personnel.
“Even before the EEC officially opens, there is already a high number of aviationgraduates,” RAdm Piya said. “But companies will not employ them if their qualifications are not certified according to international standards.”
