Damn,
With all the airline carriers laying off (including Air Canada today) it means the competition for Pilot MOC in the CF will be getting tighter. All those pilots need a place to work and the CF is the best spot IMHO. Good economy = less competition for Pilot MOC, Bad economy = more competition for Pilot MOC.

MONTREAL – Air Canada (TSX: AC.B) will cut up to 2,000 jobs at the end of this year as it sharply reduces capacity to deal with the rising cost of fuel.
The airline says it needs to fly fewer trips as oil prices keep rising to record levels.
A seven per cent reduction in capacity in its fall and winter schedule will mean it will need less staff to operate the airline.
Air Canada president Montie Brewer calls the job losses ``painful," but says the airline needs to reduce flying time to stay profitable.
Canada's biggest airline says every one-dollar increase in the price of oil per barrel adds about $26 million to its annual fuel cost.
Among the routes to be cut from Air Canada's system are a non-stop flight from Toronto to Rome, which will remain in the summer months, and a non-stop flight from Vancouver to Osaka, Japan.
