Ah, but you did, didn’t you! My fault, sorry, I started it. We can discuss that on another thread.

No-one knows how COVID is going to play out, nor do they know the timeframe.

All I am suggesting is that at some point it will be all sorted out along with economic activity resuming, and when it does, the pent-up demand will possibly blow all gloomy predictions out of the water.

That’s the moment you want to have your CPL finished, a few bush hours, and ready to ride the next wave of aviation boom.

That’s not the moment to start your training, because if you do, then I guarantee that the stock market will crash again the day after you get your CPL in the mail.

As I said, it’s contrary, but so is “buy low, sell high.”

In my first post on this thread I suggested 5 years, maybe 4-7.

Very bold of me to make such a prediction in a completely unknown climate. But on reflection, I’m going to stand by it.

“I believe that a cadet or a GA pilot starting tomorrow will have the opportunity for RPT Turbo Prop or better in 5 years (with a variance of 4-7 years).”

I’m going to take a screen-shot of this post and see how I go.

What’s your prediction?
