Game over - nonsense.

Too many planes being built and nowhere near enough pilots to fly them. Little economic upset seems to be receding already and very soon we will be back to the desperate situation airlines were in 2 years ago. Simply not enough qualified and experienced aircrew.

There will always be good and bad airlines from an employees perspective but if anybody tries to force pilots offshore their airline will experience immediate difficulties. Jetstar might need to think about that next time they try another Darwin act. Once the industry fully turns, watch pilots bail from there faster than you could imagine.
