Flydreamliner, pilot job prospects ARE going to be affected.

Did you read the post above about DHL?? Several airlines in Europe have gone bust recently dumping a lot of experienced guys on the market. Airlines that have recently merged laying crews off. Others stopping recruitment altogether. As pax/cargo numbers fall off (due to customer/business sentiment from the crisis), coupled with fuel bills (depending on hedging) rising airlines, are flying less. Only operating profitable flights. Therefore there is less demand for crews, those crews are working harder (900hrs), more experienced crews on the market for jobs!! How can this not affect job prospects??

Unless I have missed something I would have thought there will be a big impact on job prospects!!
