I hate to sound of doom and gloom, but I think the supply side of the hiring equation is going to increase dramatically in the next six months. Specifically, in my opinion, we haven't seen the last of the airline bankruptcies nor have we seen the peak of pilot furloughes which in my opinion may commence after Labor Day.

Unfortunately, for the reasons listed above pilot-demand (employment opportunities) may shrink dramatically and jobs will become a premium and quite possibly min. quals. for hiring may become more stringent.

I hope I am wrong, but I think we are just seeing the beginning of a turbulent time in the airline industry.

Best of Luck to the original author of this thread, it will be a tough road.
