it will take 4-5 years for airline pilots.
5-8years for a 200 h pilot.
slow recovery with risk of double recession? Yes.
actually the USA create 400'000 job per month, when last year they lost 700'000 job/month.
it will take 2-3 years until we go back to a good time.As long they create 400'000 jobs which I doubt.
Good time very soon?, maybe, but not in aviation knowing banks are not willing to help the airline industry anymore.
I think that a double recession will be here after summer 2010.I see it in my crystal ball.(japan, greece, spain, italy and finally USA).
no need to rush to flight schools!.
