I firmly believe so

Any crisis hat the potential for improvement. As it - unfortunately - is true that a war is frequently followed by an economic boom afterwards, this crisis has the potential of cleaning the market from less viable contenders, giving us pilots the opportunity to find a better job than the one we were holding before.

Just think of some of the examples in business aviation where companies for a long time thought that growth could go on forever and ordered airplanes, hired people etc. like there was no tomorrow. Today we all know better.

My personal experience tells me, that we have to ride out the storm, maybe invest in further training ourselves (if we can afford it, that is) and be ready when the surviving, fitter companies start hiring again.

Maybe Mr. Darwin wasn't so wrong after all...
