I think things are looking pretty positive.
Rumours of approx 90 SFO's from easyjet apparently leaving to go to the middle east with emirates, gulf air, etihad etc - wether its true if 90 or so have done is another matter tho.
Heard rumours and read an article in either flyer/pilot mag a month or 2 ago that the BA guy John Monks was expecting BA to recruit in the next year or so too.
If these 2 points do happen hopefully that'll get some movement back within the job market.
Some of the smaller turbo-prop operators have recruited also within the past year.
Signs are there that an improvement is happening.....albeit slowly.
Everyone keep their chins up, keep smiling and keep current
