I'm another wise guy ( ), so here we go:
If you wanna survive, if you wanna have your family survive, if you wanna have work, IF YOU WANNA BE A PRO PILOT, THEN DO EVERYTHING IT TAKES TO PREVENT A 3RD WORLD WAR!!!

Sounds pessimistic? Well think again. The whole story may get outta hand real quick, and then

Crisis? Yes we are in one. I'm one of the hundreds of Swissair Group's pilots waiting for the difficult decisions to be communicated most probably tomorrow, expecting radical cuts in the workforce.

Is it gonna get worse? Almost sure. Look at the economics, unstability, etc.

How long? Sure difficult to say, but count on at least 2 years up to...

You wanna ride thru the storm? Well, don't forget one thing: if you don't get the covered job, YOU have to keep your licence valid. And this might be for quite a long time. And as you know, the whole game is expensive.

Personnal advice:
You have started your training, mortgaged house and wife? Then finish the whole thing and start looking for a job, any flying job. Luck might be with you...
You have not started out? As previously written by others, wait a bit to see how things will progress. Luck might be with you...


To everybody, best of luck
