Hmm.
I could write five pages about what is wrong and what the risks to the economy are and about 5 words on the upside. So don't go turning this bear in to a bull.
If there's any good news its all at the top end of the profession and its all to do with hot/humid/dictatorship areas of the planet. Its got sod all to do with the average British/Euro/Western wannabe - yet. In 2008 I was saying don't even think about coming out of training until 2012. I stick by that but at least now we're halfway there..
The world on the other side of this war on wannabes is not going to be as it was though. The finish line has been moved back a couple of years. Its not going to be until you have a couple of thousand/couple of years jet airline time that you get to get what was commonly accepted as a proper airline job.
The rungs on that ladder just keep getting jerked higher and higher. Its evil.
