Hey Alex,
Having been in the industry for almost 20 years, i reckon these days are better than my days in getting jobs in this industry. There are many more oppurtunities to get better jobs than say what i had to go through to get my airline job. Sure there is some uncertainty with oil etc..but its anyones guess as to what the airline industry is going to be like in 5 years or further down field. I think as many others do that there is going to be a period of adjustment where some of the weaker companies will fold and others will join forces and become stronger, so if flying is what you want to do then put your head down and go for it. It wont be easy, dont let anyone tell you otherwise, but i think thats what makes the pilot breed so unique!!
Always remember to focus on what is the end goal that you want to achieve and take the steps necessary to get there, one step at a time. Good luck and i wish you all the best,
