“This company will not be training any more pilots in the foreseeable future, since we have 400 trained pilots on our waiting list who are seeking employment. The other five major companies each have roughly the same number of trained pilots on their waiting lists, and since the projected requirement of each company is for not many more than 100 additional pilots, there will be no shortage of personnel despite the current upswing in the aviation industry.”
Which one of the following, if true, casts the most doubt on the accuracy of the above conclusion?
(A) Most of the trained pilots who are on awaiting list for a job are on the waiting lists of all the major companies.
(B) In the long run, pilot training will become necessary to compensate for ordinary attrition.
(C) If no new pilots are trained, there will be an age imbalance in the pilot work force.
(D) The quoted personnel projections take account of the current upswing in the aviation industry.
(E) Some of the other major companies are still training pilots but with no presumption of subsequent employment.

Which one of the following, if true, casts the most doubt on the accuracy of the above conclusion?
(A) Most of the trained pilots who are on awaiting list for a job are on the waiting lists of all the major companies. : This is in fact the correct choice because this reduces the the total number of unemployed pilots. Making new training necessary.
(B) In the long run, pilot training will become necessary to compensate for ordinary attrition. : Wrong. What if the preliminary training is good enough? Out of scope.
(C) If no new pilots are trained, there will be an age imbalance in the pilot work force. : Wrong. Slides away from the main point.
(D) The quoted personnel projections take account of the current upswing in the aviation industry. Wrong. The argument does not reason well with this.
(E) Some of the other major companies are still training pilots but with no presumption of subsequent employment. Out of scope.

We are here looking for an option which will weaken the argument.
(A) Most of the trained pilots who are on awaiting list for a job are on the waiting lists of all the major companies.
=> There are 6 major companies including the one making the argument. And if trained pilots are on the waiting lists of all the major companies.. That means there are only approximately 400 trained pilots (not 400*6).. This might create a shortage.. We will keep this option
(B) In the long run, pilot training will become necessary to compensate for ordinary attrition.
=> Ok training will become necessary.. But what has this to do with the shortage of pilots. This option is focusing on the need of training. But not to the argument that training will not be necessary because of alleged 'non shortage' of trained pilots. ELIMINATE
(C) If no new pilots are trained, there will be an age imbalance in the pilot work force.
=> Age imbalance.. Where did this come from. This option again is focussing on the need of training. But deviates from the argument. ELIMINATE
(D) The quoted personnel projections take account of the current upswing in the aviation industry.
this statement is strengthening the argument. ELIMINATE
(E) Some of the other major companies are still training pilots but with no presumption of subsequent employment.
=> if some others are giving training it is again helping in training more pilots and it will have no effect or in a way will strengthen the argument a little that there will be no shortage. ELIMINATE
(A) is the winner here
