Would you train for ATPL(H) in 2020/21?
I am happy & lucky with FW, but always curious of the other side of the fence:
If somebody had the nerve to go for helo flying this year or next, would you feel the urge to tie the man to a chair? Will there literally be no hiring whatsoever, or just fewer jobs and a weeding out of operators? I get that the industry has suicidal tendencies in terms of underbidding, but if the entire lot will go so far as to have zero new pilots getting any chance whatsoever, then that would effectively mean a generational cutoff of skilled labour wouldn’t it. Of course the bankruptcies hit exactly the operators who used to display at least some support of new pilots (Bristow...) but can you really sustain having no generational renewal at all, like some predict for the next decade or so?
