Or it is likely that the industry will recover soon and that it might not take twice as long to recover. Are you just giving opinions here Sky or do you have some economic facts to base these observations on?

I can only offer my personal observations. (My crystal ball is in the shop.) However over the last 10 years there was a surge of RJ's and pilots created. I can't imagine seeing growth on that magnitude again anytime within the next few decades. Most likely a major and a regional or two will go under withing the next year and there will be a few thousand more airline pilots on the street.

It will take most of the next ten years before they all find a home.
