Tomorrow I'm taking my first step on the long road to an ATPL so I'm quite positive about the downturn, here's why...

I've planned to take about 2-3 years to achieve my goal which means that if we were in a peak now, by the time I qualify we would be in a trough. As it is, by the time I qualify (hopefully) the market would have recovered and airlines will need pilots- this is assuming that the 7 year cycle theory is correct.

I feel for people who are close to finishing especially if they've gone down the more expensive route but personally, I'm quite upbeat about a downturn.

I hope this helps, I've finished with my rose tinted spectacles now if anyone else wants to borrow them!
