Would somebody care to explain how as a newly qualified fATPL with zero operational experience quite how you plan to leapfrog 450 zoom/futura experienced 73/75 & 767 pilot who will probably take the next two years to employ as their target employers are all looking for economic savings and redundancys and extra productivity from their current staff...
This is also assuming that we don't have any other airline casualties between now and then - which is at best unlikely andassuming the vast majority of the 450 will not wish to give up life as they know it and move to the sand pit.
To harp on about the oil price here when its already taken its toll on these people at best is a kick in the nuts.
3 to 4 years at least for it to pick up just as between 2001 and 2005, for those who have only subscribed to these hallowed pages since 2005 dig up some threads from the real dark times of 2002 and get a feel for what to expect...
The jobs section in flight this week was like a pamphlet and its nowhere near bottomed out yet
