Well that’s more Airlines down…so that will be more Pilots looking for a Job. And as this is very much an Industry that works on supply and demand….Some of these guys are going to be unemployed for some time.
Strangely enough it’s never the fault of the staff, but usually some bean counter or group of directors that drive these companies on the rocks….
The Lo-cost idea although bringing cheap fares (and lousy service) to people, is as much to blame for this instability…….Since all airlines are cutting costs (usually in the staff department first…although the directors always seem to get their million pound bonuses!!!!!!
.) eventually they all end up cutting each others throats. Don’t get me wrong…I’m sure this is prevalent in all business, today….Its just that, in aviation, a pilot, must stay current. The longer he is unemployed the harder It Is for him to get re- employed.
So all you guys who think the airlines are such a great idea……..There are only a small percentage of guys in the good jobs now……The rest bounce from job to job. There are better ways to enjoy your flying.
