I pretty much think for integrated, it's either 'tagged' or bust.
Thats my view as well.

All the others are just keeping the schools open for those selected.

The big thing to watch is what happens after the last aircraft deliverys to the loco's.

Will they give out 3 year contracts then replace.

Will they be forced to give perm contracts.

Will they through an agency get you trained up with a decent company. Then move you to one that has half the T&C's. Already happening with flexi screw.

Flybe I have heard is pretty rammed at the moment with the wage bill going through the roof due to people staying and no movement in the work force. How long they can continue taking cadets without expansion I suspect we won't have long to wait to find out.

Ryanair is going to be the one that sets the tone and I suspect it will be pretty harsh due to the wage profile they have. 3 year FO earning proper money or a cadet who gets payed next to nothing. I think we can all guess whats going to happen.

And of course this major player which takes the bulk of the sub 300 hour pilots does take anyone how ever they are trained.
