I honestly do not know how shorthanded they are in Poland but I have heard from few people who fly there that the market is still expanding so that's why Im considering the conversion and an airline job in Europe. I mean, last thing I need right now is to quit my job, move to Europe, study my a$$ off for few months, get the conversion, and not have a job.
Yea thats what the word is that things are slowing. I guess we will see how they will contninue to turn out. Its a difficult position to be in leaving a job here, for a job elsewhere that you do not know if you will get. That is why it is important not to burn any bridges behind you.

I am not aware of the numbers of how shorthanded the likes of LOT and subsidaries are, but there are many older pilots flying for LOT, who will soon be retiring within the comming years. Hopefully there is a lot of them. I guess time will tell... because to be completly honest... I don't want to stay here any longer then I have too, and that doesnt have anything to do with the airline industries in either countries.
