Luftwaffel: beside the technical problems, illustrated by that spare parts are not available from industrial side, and inspections of planes lasting for over one year, another problem makes itself increasingly felt: pilots are "fleeing" from the service, due to better working cinditons and payment in civiolian aviation. On the parade air base Laage, the base commander says he has 23 pilots - but 20 more pilots are needed. On other air bases, the quota of unmanned pilot positions varies between 35 and 50%.
Very much deeper reputation could not fall. In past weeks i read that the situation in the navy is not much different, so it is in the army. They do not get sufficient recruits anymore, anywhere. Which in case of pilots also means: recruits qualified enough for the training.
