Last year this time Airlines were hiring or calling back their fourloghed pilots in a very good rate. suddenly, everything changed in a very short period, because of the bad economy, and high fuel prices. But, we have to remember this not 9/11, when there were lots of people who didn't want to fly, I personally no a great number of people, who stopped traveling by air, and some of them still don't fly. If a new president, can get us out of this bad economy, thing will shift much more quicly, than 9/11. Now, people want to fly, they just don't have the money, and hopefully, the fuel prices will fall, and everyone could be able to buy an airline ticket, and industry will shift quickly.
