Question When Will Things Turn Around

How much longer do you see the lack of jobs to continue? I'm a furloughed guy working at a small 135 cargo company and I can't wait to get back in the game...

Log on to the websites of Boeing, Airbus, GE, Rolls Royce Plc, and IATA. They all have long term market forecasts and these guys know a thing or two about the industry.

Cargo is very encouraging!

Good luck

Let's just hope for sooner rather than later...

quite sometime. probably at least a few years. the recession first has to cycle through the world. and then we'll get out of it, the economy will stay relatively flat for years afterwards. people just won't spend money like they did in the past years, also gas prices will rise sharply again when the first hint of recovery takes place. but overall i think we will only see hiring when the furloughs have been recalled and normal attrition takes over.

You're probably not going to find much sympathy right now when you put it like that. Kinda like a guy complaining that he hasn't upgraded yet.

I'd gladly send you a resume for you to walk into your boss so I can take your place. So would thousands of other guys.

OK, with that being said. Assuming the economy picks up in the next 1-2 years, that means aviation will lag behind, so maybe 3-4 years? If it happens around the same time as age 65, there will be a good amount of hiring going on in about 4 years.

Enjoy flying freight while you can because once you leave you will miss it...I miss being a freight dog all the time.
