For the wannabees and recently qualified you are presently able to view a couple of significant threads.
People who haven't bothered to speak to you for a couple of years are visiting your forums and setting out their wares - pitching themselves as the good guys.
There is a very significant shortage of experienced people - the charm offensive (at varying levels of success - not much practice needed in recent years
) is well underway.
easy had to buy back leave from pilots this summer just to function. The pilot agencies are cold calling in a vain attempt to fulfill worldwide contracts. There are people out there utterly depending on signifcant airlines going bust just to get them a breather over the winter.
The tide isn't turning - it has turned. You must consider this carefully before going further into debt. My personal opinion is that if you've got drive, ambition and a decent personality you don't need to.
