I went to the Flyer exhibition in March 2003 and last week - I would say attendance was exactly the same for both. no change.
We are all aware of the '10 year cycle' and MY thoughts/predictions are that recruitment will be very high for the rest of this year and onto 2008/09 just like in the 1990's. Industry analysts are already thinking that 2013 could be the onset of the next recession [flight international].
So get trained now, dont delay cause otherwise you'll miss the flood gates open. I know that integrated couses are becoming oversubscribed in the last year alone- time to jump on the bandwagon!
