If only I had a pound for all the 1st/2nd tourists of my generation looking to see if the civ recruitment is still going strong in 2-3 years time when their 32/12 option comes; I would have lots of pound coins.

There just aren't going to be the cockpits around to service the glut of pilots that were sucked up about 4 years ago. Unless you're a Saudi.

FRI might be nice but you can't put a price (taxed at 40%) on being c***ed around until you hit 38 and escape.

Ray,

I think there will be enough cockpits for the 'last of the few'.

If the low-cost and massive far-east/india markets continue to boom, the predicted explosion in the VLJ (very light jet) market appears and the bizjets continue to expand, then there will be a likelihood of a huge pilot shortage. As an aside, Service pilot recruitment could become very tough (for the Services, not the pilots)!
