If the country comes out of the recession and normal demand levels eventually return, airlines will be scrambling for pilots.
From what I have been researching, the country WILL NOT come out of this recession. This isn't your typical economic dip. The economic numbers do not ad up, and we all know numbers DO NOT lie. Right now the government is throwing tons of cash into a Grand Canyon size hole to give the appearance we are recovering. Eventually the bubble will pop again. The economy is directly linked to the aviation business and will not recover until the country does. I think by the time things change for the better, most aircraft will be UAV's LOL (at least cargo), so you will be like me flying a desk!
