while my course mates are now looking at unfreezing licences and fleet changes
this is what you believe, you friends have been kicked out, looking for job, replaced by P2F pilots.
when did you hear about them? 3 years ago, where?
I dont know if you live in the same word as mine, but in my word, 80% of pilots I know are unemployed, lost their job, and now sit at home.
dont loose hope, you are not the only one, I just wish luck to the one who try to keep their job.
