Good Point about the military ecj, in some circles it's argued that the current 'state of war' Bush, Blair and Howard are in is an indirect long term stimulus to the airline industry as traditionally airlines looked to the military first when recruiting pilots(higher standards, less tolerance for error equals better pilots). When the dust settles and not so much tourists but business travellers begin flying again, the demand for pilots will increase and pilots that have seen some action while in the military will be looked upon more favourably by the airlines.
