340,000 Pilots Needed For The Next 20 Years?

I know of one such graduate who still had problems landing a single
after completing the course. I can only speculate with some
trepidation how he'll cope with landing an A320 or 737.
If he trained for a A320 or a 737, he'll probably land it much better than he
does a single. The aircraft are not intrinsically more difficult to land just
because they are big.
I have no problem with airline pilots who can't land a Cessna. I do have a
problem with airline pilots who have not trained sufficiently on the aircraft
they actually fly to be able to handle unusual situations.
