facts
Some hard facts :
- of the 10 guys who finished (succeeded) the fATPL course (modular) with me, only 1 has still an airline job right now. 1 or 2 had found a job but their airline went bankrupt after a few months (so they did not get any line experience).
- I know some jet pilots with 1000s of hours who are still unemployed right now and are still looking and they are unemployed because their airline went bankrupt or proceeded to mass layoffs (not because they were personnally fired)
- some airlines prefer to employ pilots from eastern europe and russia because they are much cheaper.
those are the facts in my possession. you can interpretate that as you want
