Let's assume that after leaving school in 2016, I get my license in say 2020 ...(these are not proper figures, just a rough guide) ... what aircraft types can I expect?

I know they'll be an abundance of 738's etc, plus the MAX and NEO.... do you think I'd still be able to find 757 and 767 in freight carriers?

What sort of lifespan would you give the aircraft we see operating today?

Yep ... I suppose you're referring to the ageing aircraft in their fleet!


My prediction would be that they'll be around for yonks yet, not necessarily with holiday charter companies, but spread out across the world.

Two of our 767's took to the air first time in 1982 and are not scheduled for retirement - yet.

It will either be the Expresso machine or the chip fryer at Maccy D's. Really, don't consider flying as a career... It won't be worth doing until the idiots have long given up and airlines pay for you to learn.

Following the failed merger with the Europeans, British Superjets (BS) will be up and running and you should be well placed for a Second Officer position on the Superjet VC 900 series.

The BS fleet will span from the 920 (medium twin) to the 980 (900 seat, huge, six engined, two crew + newly legal stimulants) and your 100,000 Sterling salary will attract 50% tax.

In 2020 a pint of best bitter at your local "The Grin and Bear" will set you back 20 quid, but, you will have your dream job, eh?

If you are really sharp, you will have noticed that the initialism 'BS' is open to other interpretations.

The train left the station circa 1990. Best get a job that pays enough for you to enjoy flying at a good club.
