At a Pprune wannabe seminar many years ago, an airline DFO gave a presentation about the job market for low-hours pilots.
He started by drawing a graph of pilots jobs over time, and noted the way the job market tends to build steadily for several years, before an ‘event’ precipitates a cliff-edge collapse. His observation was that the market tends to follow a (roughly) 10 year cycle, with the bottom falling out in 1990 (1st Gulf War), 2001 (9/11 terrorist attacks) and 2008 (the financial crash).
It’s now 2020 . . .
I would give some thought to that, particularly if I was considering starting an integrated course.
