Well it really depends on whether wannabes are going to refuse to pay anymore than they need to for an fATPL.

The problem is the role of junior FO is changing from being a necessary company cost to a way of saving or actually making money for some airlines. Depending on how bad the industry gets we may well see more 'Pay to be a pilot' programs.

You also then have companies making more & more money out of the fATPL training by making false promises. Now we hear of FTO's promising jobs to people who have already parted with a huge sum if they will just pay another huge sum.

When wannabes stop being a 'cash cow' to milk then things may improve but dont hold your breath.
