Doom mongering!

I have to question the "doom - mongering theory. There are a lot of guys who have paid lots of money to qualify and hopefully work as a airline pilot. For many the word "work" is important as the job has to pay the mortagage and bring up a family. I feel that "concern" would be a better phrase.

The pilot jobmarket has been stagnant for some time and has only just started to pick up. Some newcomers may not realise this. The IPA quoted 329 members airline unemployed in its latest newsletter and most of them have been looking for some time.

I am full of praise for people with determination and enthusiasm but the "go for it " approach has been the downfall of many, leaving them in serious debt without a job. I think people need to research through neutral sources and then make their own mind up. The training schools appear to have had a mass production on rose - tinted spectacles - they want your money!

Nomercy.
