Let's face facts here guys. If we wanted job security we would have worked in a bank...er I mean...woolworth's...er...not sure actually. I reckon Barbers will do OK though. We all need our hair cutting from time to time and the Barbers will pick up extra customers who used to go to a stylist. So, ditch the demi wave, and get a short back and sides instead.
The moral of the story is that Aviation has always been the same....same sh1t different flight number. This happened in the 80's, the 90's and now in 00's. In the early 90's I knew a guy who had 5000hrs, of which 4500 were turbo prop and he took a job at Burger King for a year until things got better. It's just the way it is.
It will all get better soon enough.
