airlines will loose 9 billiards this year
Using the word billiard there are you refering to the sport or the name given to numbers greater than a quadrillion? If airlines are losing over 9 quadrillion this year the world will stop.
mad_jock is bang on the money.
And as for:
Almost all are employed but not all of them as pilots (yet).
If they are not employed as pilots then the answer to the question is: NO a large portion are NOT employed. We are on a pilot forum and people are asking about pilot jobs, they couldn't give a flying f*ck if they qualified and secured a job with McDonalds.
As for Ryanair, I certainly do NOT consider that to be employment. In that I am not saying the people flying for them are not good pilots or that they have not had to play the cards they've been dealt the best they can but that is NOT employment.
