WIGGY WIGGY WIGGY ............

Don't believe what you read in newspapers mate.

Have you been to the unemployment office lately? I bet you 20% of the people you see in your unemployment offices, this days, are pilots.
The market is flooded with pilots, although it seams to be slowing down on these 200 hour pilots prepared to invest in their future by coughing up another &20,000 on top of their previous loan to purchasing that right seat, the airlines seam to be trying to fill.
Airlines are cutting cost any way they can and if the pilots are the way to do so, than that is exactly what they will continue doing. Management are there for one thing and one thing only, to look after themselves and surely not you and me.
So again don't believe what the media decides to stick in their newspaper.

Safe skies.
