100ft Posted November 4, 2003 Report Posted November 4, 2003 Five of my class of eight (finished winter '02-'03) have been hired and 4 of us are actually flying. Quote
Guest sharky Posted November 4, 2003 Report Posted November 4, 2003 Interesting seeing the stats by age. The numbers don't seem to say that the biz is as top heavy with middle aged 'soon to be retiring, leaving a vacuum' sort of situation. Quote
