If things pick up in the next 12 months and all the airlines start hiring again then - I agree - there will not much of a problem.
However.
The opposite of this is going to happen.
Unemployment is the US just breached 10%. A barrier not broken since before WW2. The UK is lagging in time but headed in the same direction. Airline frequently only go bust a year or more after the recession ends. Ours, at 18 months the longest since WW2 hasn't even ended yet.
For compelling anecdotal evidence look at BA losing money for two years running for the first time ever. Or easyJet closing, or shrinking, UK bases to move the aircraft and jobs abroad. Or BMIBaby who are reducing their total fleet from 17 to 12 and making redundant over 50 pilots most of whom would have over 10,000 jet hours. There are ominous rumblings from the newly merged Charter airlines who are carrying more pilots than they need and groaning under the strain with no sight of a 787 relief flight.
As counterbalance its fair to say that things are fair to middling at FlyBe.
If your planning on a recovery in airline recruitment in the next 12 months then you'd better change the plan. Quickly.
