That's pretty much what happened last time the Majors were hiring in droves. The RJ guys moved to the Majors, the Cessna guys moved to the RJ's and the FBO's couldn't find enough instructors...

This industry has always been feast or famine, at one time in the mid 80s' the popular 'joke' was, "AA will hire right up until the day they start furloughing..."

That's one reason I wanted to be at Delta, at that time they had NEVER furloughed anyone. That's why the employees bought the first 767 for the company, as a "Thankyou" for not furloughing in the recession of 1981-85, when everyone else was furloughing.
