Whats the future for the Airline Pilot?
Having read all the negativity that is floating around and seen some of it first hand. Im just interested where pilots think their jobs will be in 5, 10 years time and at what salary and terms of service?
Are the Wannabees heading for the US system where they pay for their first 1000 hours turbo prop with a small cargo carrier at $30 ish per hour?
At the moment the industry is in ressesion post 9/11 all the majors contractingand jobcutting to stave off bankrupcy. The low fair sectory is blossoming at the moment and taking on a few people who are willing to pay for ratings etc for a rung on the ladder. Other airlines are offering 'perminent part time contracts'.
Where does it end and what is the future? Any ideas?
