Larki. I have read the comments on here following your post. Some make me ashamed to be an airline pilot. Whilst it is true this is a fickle and difficult career, full of highs and lows (I have worked for 4 airlines that have left me redundant and had to spend years in the middle east when there were no jobs at all for a low hours pilot in Europe). This is a bad time for your son but things will recover......ignore to doomsters and the plain ignorant/rude. I fully understand, as do most decent human beings, what you are feeling on behalf of your son at the moment and just stay close to eJ.
