Hmmmm......I may have brought a 'Pandoras box' to the table with this thread, which has deviated somewhat from what I was originally inquiring about.
In the interim since I posted this thread, I have been trying to 'nut' out from other sources (yes there's life beyond PPrune
) what my chances are now that the aviation gods have once again started playing hardball by stalling any mass recruitment, and, trying to quantify how long they intend to do this, is like trying to ascertain the depth of a hole.
So, what I am starting to see is that the proverbial goalposts are moving back, back in favour of the Employer. My chances are just like any other 'wannabe', but collectively we 'wannabes'are now starting to move in a quagmire, rather than the 'firm track' of the last couple years.
Apologies for the prosaic dirth, but I think the 1990's may be back.
