To answer the question, do nothing!

Stay out of this industry for the next few years, at least 5 years, maybe more. There are too many experienced, type rated pilots on the market. Many are forced to the Middle East, these guys will be the first in the que when any recruitment starts because they'll all want to come home! (I include many of my collegues in my present airline (Boeing) and those of BMI I met last week (Airbus)!)

Without anyone coming through the 'system' of CPL issue and the retirement 'blip' starting 2014 onwards, then the supply and demand tables will turn - experienced guys will get the opportunities and move sideways to the left and low houred guys will (maybe) start to get jobs again.

To start in this industry as a sensible career option, is just madness right now! Clearly, I don't include these CTCD's (CTC Donkey's) who think it is...and pay to do it!
