That's what I was thinking but I thought I'd await an elaboration before going off on one.
This could be further bad news for the wannabes - just as there is a glimmer of the jobs market beginning to improve, experienced military pilots are going to be leaving in droves and sniffing after those few jobs. Those who are appropriately qualified already are probably going to be further up the CV pile than 200hr ab-initios. There are a lot of concerned military pilots with strong CVs who will be looking to the airlines for future employment (and I know a lot who are getting there CPLs right now so they're hot to trot when the axe falls). I dare say that even in the pay-for-your-type-rating airlines, cadets could start to feel competition for slots coming from this direction.
