BA and Virgin are set to recruit in the first part of next year so the rumour goes, the company I am currently on a contract with (small lo/co) will have to do some recruitment next year, Flybe are rumoured to be short as our Easyjet. EK have more roadshows this month which will surely lure more away to the sand over the winter thereby helping the UK market.
I agree i don't think there will be an explosive recovery, far from it I said an improving market which i think it will be over the next 6 months or so.
I can't see Jet2 being the only UK operator who needs to recruit in the next 6 months, if they are then i like many others, am in BIG TROUBLE!!!!
