| Quite sad really
Was just reading this and have to say I agree the future does not look so good for the less competitive carriers.
How do you think this will affect the situation from a pilot perspective? I'd be interested in this as I am one of those CPL/IR guys with another career in technology who now thinks that I should stay where I am. Last year I was pretty much dead set in my determination to make the switch and did the CPL and IR to allow me to at least make a start. I think (very quickly it seems) the situation does not now look so attractive to make the switch. It seems that opportunities will dwindle as less competitive airlines fold and pilots will (as has been mentioned) be absorbed by the larger "mega" airlines. So my question is, are we looking at another situation of extended furloughs and high unemployment? Or will the new merged airlines be able to provide enough employ for those still wanting to fly for a living?
