It seems that some airlines are recruiting as they are predicting a need for pilots next spring/summer. They wil ltake the ones that need the most training now so that theyare ready and working next year. I would think that experienced pilots will be getting snapped up later as they needless 'working up' to get them onto the line.

If this is the case then once the large airlines start advertising for the experienced pilots then airlines like Ryanair, Flybe, Jet2 etc. may encounter a mass exodus of pilots that are fed up with the way they have been treated. This will then lead to an even greater need for pilots from these airlines albeit experienced SFO's and captains.

Of course this is only my theory but I think there could be interesting times ahead providing there is no terrorist attack/bank meltdown etc.
