B.O.A.C. and B.E.A. (Pilots)

HC Deb 01 December 1967 vol 755 c193W

Captain Orr

asked the President of the Board of Trade what requirements he expects for civil airline pilots for the British Overseas Airways Corporation and British European Airways during the next five years.

Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieu

Forward estimates, particularly for such a long period, are not reliable. I am informed, however, that the numbers of pilots whom B.O.A.C. and B.E.A. estimate they will need to recruit are as follows:

	1968	1969	1970	1971	1972
B.O.A.C.	191	204	230	144	116
B.E.A.	108	96	69	118	100
Totals	299	300	299	262	216
