Supply and demand is the unstoppable force you refer to, not the "zombie army"
Whilst this is true, it is also true that our industry is blighted by the need to be the proud owner of a particular type rating to fly a particular type. This totally skews the market, and as long as companies can fob off the type costs onto job hungry cadets the situation will not improve. This is where WWW's 'zombie army' comes into it. Yes we were all first job seekers once, but most of us did not expect a jet job straight out of training, and consequently worked our way through the system. Many of us are now stuck on turboprops or older jets, as the endless line of TR purchasing debt ridden desperados stab each other in the back to climb into the RHS of an Airbus or 737NG for a summer of low pay followed by unemployment, encouraged by the likes of Easy/FR/Jet2 etc.
Until there is regulation from EASA et al the situation will not improve. I for one am seriously looking at exit strategies to depart this rotten industry
