The challenge many are facing from who I’ve spoken to is age, on each side of the seat, they acknowledge they might be waiting 5-7 years for something of substance. However they are now late 50s or cracked 60. The chances of getting hired are slim. The wife is looking at retirement not moving around again.
Many good people out on the street. Recovery might be quicker than 5-7 years I’d think but still not an enviable position to be in. One would think 787s will be on the agenda again or ordered at outstanding rates whilst the market is depressed and prior to offloading of the business.
