So there you go! Though be aware that the market changes rapidly, and often without warning. What's true now may be ancient history by Monday. Make sure you make contacts in your chosen group of employers and keep up to date with what their current thinking is. I've no doubt you have ex-colleagues you know in those airlines- get in contact with them and stay in contact. Let them know you're interested in joining their airline when your release date comes, and get them to feed you info as that date approaches. It's not what you know... (As I'm sure you know!)
