Let me suggest whatever you see today, may, and probably will be, quite different in your stated time frame. A workmate of mine was recalled to PanAm in 1989. He flunked out of training, and returned to our work place. PanAm was liquidated in 1991. Two years from "hiring" to gone. Not saying SkW is going to be gone, but in 2006-2007, they were hiring anybody who could breath, and have 1000 hours (some even got in with slightly less). On July 3, 2008, they cancelled their new hire class scheduled for July 7. They haven't hired since. I wonder how many resigned from whatever gig they had, went on a holiday weekend trip, only to find no job? |
One of the two guys I know came back to our CFI gig. Hopefully he got called back, for his sake, he's itching to get out.

I just look at all the companies here in Canada and down in the United States status to gauge how the industry is changing up and down. I expect companies to open and close during my training due to economy and such. I hope I am more clear now :) |

I believe you are doing the right thing despite of what you read on these replies, actually it is always a good idea to try to look at the picture as a whole, rather than with a microscope, it is going to pick up sooner than later. It was a tragedy in 2001-2002 and then a hiring frenzy 2006-2007. Just don't get into this for the money, do it because you love flying as most of us do. Good luck!
