I agree with JJ. More calls in the last 3 weeks than all of last year, and ended up with quite a good Turboprop seat out of it. I am a reasonably experienced Kiwi but for all you low time types I say the good times in recruitment are right now. By mid 2000 there were 1000 more ATPL holders than the previous year. This is why we had a very fustrating 2000 but that bubble will be fast dissappearing from what I have seen as there are far fewer people coming through under JARs. The American scene is different for sure but that is a different world than Europe. The HR people who send out junk mail and treat licence holders with contempt may have to adjust the attitude. To be fair I only came across a couple, one with a major airline.
