I'm not the most up beat person when it comes to this industry, but I sense this hiring trend will be here for a good period time to come. There has been a major major shift in the way the industry works,things have changed- there is more than just a hiring cycle going in here. Kids are not learning to fly any more, cats outa the bag- everyone knows how cost prohibitive flight training is and it's just not a desired career path anymore....that being said, if you can stay debt free or close to it, enjoy flying- never ever been a better time to get in.
