come on! can't be that bad out there
It is. And it's getting worse.
There are so many out of work 75/76 pilots thanks to the demise of XL, EOS, Silverjet, Zoom, and the reduction of 75 airframes from other fleets.
And there's barely any other jobs out there for which there aren't many very well qualified and experienced pilots already applying.
If you think otherwise, you're mad.
