Scapegoat, despite all evidence to the contrary, Pilotyip (and a few of his loyal, yet mathmatically challenged followers) has decided that because aviation is a cyclical industry that somehow, magically, every 10 years (because the aviation industry cycle is on the metric system, apparently) major airlines will suddenly have need of countless hordes of pilots and will hire accordingly. It's happened at least twice now, so it is virtually guaranteed to happen again! Apparently, all this silly stuff like 9/11, $60/barrel gas prices, wars in the middle east and deregulation have absolutely nothing to do with determining airline hiring. All you have to do is check the calendar. If the year ends in a 7, you're good to go. It's comforting, isn't it? Numerology is awesome.
