In my opinion, SKY made it better by being one less qualified experienced pilot others have to compete. Heck if all the high time guys get out, maybe the low times peeps will get their shot. But its hard to compete against people who have money to pay for their seat. That to me means one less paying flying job for the pilots on the street which is what this thread is about. Rant over.
Well this topic is off track so I really am not going to debate this here, its not the place. I have nothing to try to prove, and for the record I was one of those on the street for a good while also, before the most recent opportunity came along. Again topic at hand (pilots on the street), you see the comments stated here, about this industry and the marginalizing of the investment it takes , but how you view yourself will come across in an interview with potential employers, and in this market, there truely is no room for error. I'm done; surely to the pleasure of many.
