Well I am a pilot by profession, I do mostly bush type stuff or off shore oil support in helicopters. I just applied for a job that I thought I would be a good fit for, I even got a call from the Chief Pilot, One seat, he got 700 resumes, and 40 strong resumes for the one seat. I was in the final pile but there are a lot of guys on the streets looking. Its tough as tough as any I have seen. And the 1970's was tough, the only difference I was a young 22 year old in the market place with no experience and now I am close to 60 with fat logbooks. Its not good. I can see were guys would have second thoughts about a hunting or fishing trip. Nobody knows what the rules of the game is going to be, and this is being done on purpose, to cause and much uncertainty as possible. its a political calculation that seems to be working. Good grief the Federal Government has not had a budget since W's last budget. That going on four years now. All of this is plan to see if you just look.
