It's called a recession boys. Jeez the glass if just half empty. There is lots of us in the process (with letters or not) so get over it. Happened in the 70's (I work with a guy who's dad got sacked from QF then re-hired years later [he was a cadet
woops]), happened in the 80's and in the 90's.
Oh and it's happening now.
HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF. Go get your twin/turbine/multi-crew ****e sorted like I am, then you'll be top pickings in the next shortage now won't you.
