Retirements dictate that there will be upward movement, but that all depends on oil. If it keeps going up, airlines will park airplanes without replacing them. If it gets really bad, tanking the economy again the majors will re-enter bankruptcy and start terminating regional contracts, which will put regionals out of business since there doesn't appear to be much new flying to be had in that sector. Going forward you either keep what you have, or die.
If you can rationalize a way to ignore the whole oil issue, the hiring picture looks good.

I remember when I was a student pilot (private, comm, CFI, etc) I would always check the weather: The next day and several days down the road. Now, 1000 hours later. I don't even check the weather for that day. I show up to the airport for work. Is it good? Great! We go fly. If not? Oh well, ground discussion with the students or simulator time. I've learned that weather cannot be forecasted. Not a chance this industry can be forecasted either, let alone more than 2 days ahead of time.
