If I may interrupt the self back patting brigade (sometimes with knives!) for a moment, it's a shame that any company employing us pilots finds it tough. Alas, I really don't think it will get any better. I would encourage my children to go airline, at least there's a business model and pretty much permanent demand. Helicopter flying, not so sure now. Good luck to all, I cut my teeth in the FI world with HA first in Wycombe then Denham, so I feel for the people working there.
Cheers FP.
