I've noticed an increasing trend on this forum of people doom mongering the situation to people looking to fly. My advice to people who are interested is to go for it and to ignore the comments flying around on here from a lot of more bitter seeming members. Of all the people I know who have enrolled on courses, only one remains jobless. If you read this site, the impression you'll get is that there's no such thing as an airline job for a person with a CPL. This isn't the case, you have to work hard, but eventually, if you're determined enough, you'll get that job.
Just had to raise this issue!
