It will be interesting to see what happens.

Q still has 20 A380's and 115+ 787's on order (lots to J* of course).....when they finally arrive. The parked aircraft are a few of the older inefficient jets, but I think recruiting is still going strong.....so I don't read into that too much yet. It can be very unpredictable as pointed out. Unlike United who've just parked 100!

Airlines operating on a tight rope and folding in with high fuel costs tend to feed the stronger ones and makes the apparent pilot shortage go away.....so the next 12-24 mths will be interesting.
