This might sound a bit harsh but..................
Have you actually taken the time to read any of these forums before you posted this question? Those questions have been discussed (but never answered) so many times I have lost count.
wwm?

In contrast to the rather pointless responses above, the best advice would be to look at BALPA's figures, which they collate on pilot employment in the UK. The only caveat I would say on that front is that there is no distinction on jobs that have recruited new entrants to the job market vs experienced hires from other airlines, such that there may be double counting of - for example - BA employing someone who has upgraded from flyBE, and the employment of someone to fill the flyBE post vacated by that person. Hence their figures will show 2 posts filled whereas in actual fact 1 new job has been created in the market.
Hope this is useful.

Comments such as the first reply are a complete delusion on the part of that poster, if they carry that attitude in normal daily life then it would appear that they are trying to convince themselves of facts without having any sense of the reality of the figures. We must have a sense of realism!

I have tried for ages to get some kind of figures on pilot recruitment etc. but cannot seems to find anything concrete.
The only information i stumbled accross was an article in flight international that stated: in 2005 there will be roughly a 25% increase in employment opportunities in the ENTIRE aviation industry. This was based on current facts and industry trends. OK, it's not just being specific to pilots but could be positive indication.
There is lots of postings on here about the job market getting better. I am not diagreeing with anyone, but for low hour wannabes like myself, it's still very difficult. nd before anyone asks. YES i do have a one page CV, posiive attitude and shower every day.
