That sounds very much like whistling in the dark.

I can understand why people already committed to an integrated course get all defensive when it's pointed out to them that their chances of finding a job in the next couple of years are very slim. No-one likes admitting they've backed the wrong horse.

But please - pretty please - listen to those of us already in the industry, who have already seen how bad the job market gets when times are bad. This downturn is only just getting going. Carriers have been going bust left right and centre over the summer - and that's when they make their money. What do you think is going to happen over the winter months?

Jobs for low-hours pilots are going to be very - very - thin on the ground for at least the next 2 years, and probably longer.

P.S. roomey - if you think you have 'the age problem' at 29, I'd strongly recommend some more research.
