I wouldn't assume the job market in the UK is peachy...I think its the experienced pilots that are like gold dust presently...
There will be lots of unemployed UK pilots that will agree with me and say employment in the UK is still very competative like anywhere else you go.
If anyone from the UK wants to fly in other foreign countrys, then generally we need to be proficient in their native lanauge too...i.e. Holland, Czech Republic. I dont know if this is true for France / Spain / Germany etc.
