the real culprits are those flight schools/Jar ftos (like the ones advertising on this site) who make all those wannabes believe there are jobs waiting for them at the end of their training.. .This is much less applicable to the FAA system.. .It makes me sick of seeing the wannabes on the forum still fetching close to 50k (uk) for basically a dead-end.. .Once there is a glut of low-time pilots , the market forces take a upper hand. There are few commuter/taxi operators in Europe so those guys have nowhere to go.
