EZY require 450 new pilots next year in addition to the 350 this year. Those are huge numbers.

Wherever you are in the foodchain these sorts of numbers can only have a positive effect. Ryanair have a slightly smaller but similar recruitment need. Then factor in all the other airlines plus the growing attraction of experienced pilots leaving Europe to go contracting in more exotic climes.

The good times are well and truly back.

I remember the industry being all of a flutter because BA needed 250 new pilots a year in 1998/99.. Competition for jobs will be fierce. Nevertheless the sheer sapping misery of there being No Movement will be gone.

Good luck,
