Soaking up the Surplus
Wee Weasley Welshman wrote (see current thread about Daily Mail 20 yo 747 pilot) : "There are currently by my estimation around 800 Frzn ATPL holders in the UK with <500hrs seeking employment. About 70 people a month join them." WWW
So, WWW, my questions are;
1. Any guesstimates on how many ATPL holders are seeking employment ?
and the biggie .......
2. Assuming a substantial bounce back in the industry, let's say by next summer (2003), any idea how quickly the predicted surplus would be soaked up ? (i.e. if your average Joe Blow with fATPL and 250 hrs suddenly graduates what would be there chances, all things being equal, of them finding gainful commercial employment, particularly over say the potential pool of ; 800 + (12 x 70) = 1640 fATPL's). Feel free to make pre 9/11 comparisons.
Thank you.
