There are experienced Captains out there right now that would bite your hand off for £20,000 per year. There are no expat jobs out there, there won't be jobs for British Pilots in Europe going forward. In the British socialist world, maybe we can prop up the salaries for a little longer.
We are kind of similar to WTI crude oil on April 20th. But our supply can't be so easily turned off.
I suspect that everything you just said in your doomcast email is wrong.
Look at all the airlines who are ramping up services for June and July (Wizzair, Ryanair, Turkish (no lay-offs), Thai (no lay-offs)), despite the illogical 14-day quarantine period.
Where is your evidence for experienced captains right now who would bite your hand off for £20k a year?
