There I was, p*ssing my pants over great aviator jokes in jetblast when I made the stupid mistake of checkin wannabe boards before checking out of pprune. Came across this small posting;
Pilots looking for work
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
To summarise:
160 Virgin pilots
200 BA pilots
70 Gill pilots
28+ Air 2000
??? Aer lingus (in the hundreds?)
??? Flightline
---
80 Aer Lingus cadets
40 BMI cadets
130 BA cadets
---
60 pilots who were under contract to start with airlines but who have been terminated prior to their type ratings
---
The full time colleges will collectively output 340 full time ab inito cadets self sponsored in the next 12 months
---
There will be about another 400 self sponsored (modular?) students graduating in the next 12 months.
---
All joining the approx 300 (Co-Pilot Register) pilots actively seeking employment prior to WTC. Guess there must be a lot more than those registered???
---
An unknown quantity of pilots from abroad. With Swissair, Sabena, Ansett, AirNZ to mention but a few either collapsed or waiting for the day there are an unknown number of ex-colonial or JAA member state pilots out there. Hundreds?
---
<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Only airlines POSSIBLY recruiting: FR/GOE/EZY
My advice: to avoid those sleepless nights, save jetblast till last.
Its time for a REALITY check people: these figures are FACTS.
:eek:
