All airlines were basically giving the same message, that recruitment for pilots is very buoyent.
Ryan air and easy jet recruiting 400 to 500 pilots each this year and BA between april 08 and april 09, plan on 260 new recruits.
Flybe and the training school of Ireland launched a new cadet scheme yesterday, but not exactly sure on what it involves, suggest people look on their website.
I think worryingly for myself and other modular route, low hours guys is that the trend seems more and more for airlnes to recruit from schools such as CTC, Oxford etc..
Its very difficult for all us low hours guys to stand out from each other, and without forking out for a type rating etc I cant see alot of hope without lots of luck..
Any info from what other guys found out is welcome
