Wow, no low hour pilots recruited for 5 years...Not a single one!!
That's not what I said, that's not what JB007 meant, and you know it. What we are saying is for the next few years, jobs will be exceptionally thin on the ground for low hours pilots.

Guys, with the greatest respect, I was a wannabe for nearly 8 years, and I often used to cringe at some of the posts and responses on here. I can understand naive posts from schoolkids who have no idea what is going on in the industry, but when someone who is supposedly just starting an integrated course asks questions like:

What's going on with the airline job market at the moment then?
it frankly beggars belief. You don't need to be drinking buddies with Willie Walsh to know that the industry is in a very serious position. The question invites ridicule from 'airline lads' like myself (who, incidentally, remember very well what it's like to be a wannabe, have been there and bought the T shirt, and are generally trying to help and advise you as best we can).

Shooting the messengers and posting sarky comments will not help your case.
