The thing that is killing UK wannabe
prospects the most is the double wammy
effect of JAR-FCL implementation.
i.e.
1. Import of our type rated colleagues from the EU
2. Increased cost and difficulty
I reckon the No. of people doing this will drop like a stone after June 2002 - it's already killing the training industry e.g. SFT PPSC etc ..
Also..
I wonder whether, after the downturn, our loss making flag carriers will still elect to pay for training or adopt the low-cost airline approach i.e. rely on industry fall-out and self sponsored
candidates to arrive fully trained...
