you must have had your eyes shut then.
I've already seen two recruiting bonanzas and big industry movements in Oz since i've been in the game - one around 2005 /2006 pre GFC (which I missed) then another around 10 years later in 2016 / 2017 (which I managed to catch).
It's all about the timing and being ready when the next wave of recruiting arrives - they don't last long but when they are pumping the majors very much can't employ enough pilots.
It may be years now until we see this again, maybe not - but with expanding populations and economies its naive to think there won't be more.
