obviously you don't understand much about economics. I'll leave it at that, but bush is far from the only person to blame.

Bush is to blame with his expensive and unneeded war in Iraq.

Airline hiring got hit this year by a hat trick. Two reasons are posted above and another one was the Age 65 rule delaying retirements for five years. I honestly would expect minimal hiring for the next four years.

Feel free to restart a thread on post 9/11 hiring, but this one is done. Too much political flamebait.

Topics Not for Discussion

There are currently NO forums that provide a venue for discussing politics or religion. While DreamLaunch Media Ltd. and Airline Pilot Central embrace the diversity the world has to offer, these subjects often are very emotional and there are many different views. In our experience the wide range of views and emotions rarely contribute to a harmonious online community or beneficial contributions to the piloting profession.
