One of the lads at work said there are 1800 unemplyed dutch pilots currently.
KLM academy was pumping out 120 a year but dropped this year to 60. I presume he is one of them because he has the 737 rating.
After the hold pool hit 600 for klm, they have recently taken 80-90. Some had been holding for 5-6 years.
The schools there are producing 300-400 per year. Airline which most go to is ryan air but the ones who are already rated 737 this isn`t an option.
