Aus, at the moment the industry is in a bit of a slump, from what I've seen. I was told by a chief pilot that I had an interview with that there are stacks of pilots around the traps at the moment.
It changes almost from week to week but the Ansett collapse has released a whole pile of very experienced pilots into GA. The slack will get taken up and there will be jobs to be had again. Just a matter of when!
