Not a good time to learn to fly except for recreation. The market will return but it will take time. There is a green agenda at the heart of government. The airlines are the sacrificial lambs for this. The Ryanair / easy travel explosion in Europe has meant that access to the desirable hot spots in Europe is available to all and not just the apparent elite. The weak and ineffectual Boris is influenced by his girlfriend who has climate change at the top of the pile post covid. The airlines and air travel are the targets for all sorts of unscientific reasons. The lack of support and the continued empty airports back this up. Consequently and unfortunately it is unlikely that there will be normal pilot opportunities for some time. However despite the gloomy predictions I do believe that air travel will return at some point in the future to relative normality. There is certainly no foreseeable pilot shortage.
