Dream on bunnyhop
Sorry to ruin your day but in 1 year's time I suspect things to be even worse than now.
Read everything WWW has been saying in
this thread.
Also as I've said before even
if there is an upturn in a year's time it's going to take another year at least for all the experienced pilots to be vacuumed up.
Good luck on the course though, and keep your chin up
