View Full Version : Actual numbers out of a job
A lot of guys on this site are very negative, probably as they don't yet have a job. Does anyone have actual figures on the numbers of qualified jar pilots unemployed and employed. This would maybe support what most brag about which is "no jobs". At the end of the day there are people getting employed - from any school as long as they are good enough!

People do get hired.
But there are an awful lot of guys I know who haven't had a lucky break yet.
Of course, schools like OAA won't ever tell you that before you start... but once you finish you soon realise how many guys never end up getting a job!
If you are going to invest the money, you have to go in with the realisation that it is not a given right to get a job at the end and you have to work hard to get good results.
At the end of the day, it will always depend on the state of the industry.
I got lucky and finished at just the right time for a nice opportunity, those on courses before me had a long long wait!
