Asia would need 200,000 pilots in next 20 years: Boeing
Asia would need almost a whopping 200,000 pilots over the next two decades, with China and India accounting for the bulk of the demand, a study by US aircraft manufacturer Boeing has said.
Fast-growing airlines in Asia, particularly in China, India and Middle East, would need as many as 185,600 new pilots and 243,500 new technicians over the next 20 years, the study said apparently advising pilots to make a beeline to the continent for jobs.
“This great need for aviation personnel is a global issue, but it’s hitting the Asia Pacific region particularly hard,” Bob Bellitto, global sales director, Boeing Flight Services said in a statement.

Here goes another one. I doubt it is from Boeing, most probably from flying schools.
By the way can Boeing place currently unemployed 5000 odd pilots in India first?
