I can’t help but think about all those low hour cadets who are coming off stand down.... Pretty perishable skills those IF skills...
Bloody good question. Don’t forget the fact that our airlines will be trying to get people back in the air as cheaply as possible. Add to that a severely distracted workforce who have, or will be set upon by management trying to drive down pay and conditions on the back of this.
Aviation has enjoyed a race to the bottom for the last decade or two, I feel this is where the luck starts running out for the travelling public.
