Gotta say that a pretty harsh and cynical view.
The work is there you just go out and find it. Yeah in the beginning its tough but what job isn't when your learning the trade.
Was at my local flying school Tuesday and asked about prospects. The Chief FI said we would take 3 FI's right now. Trouble is getting a FI who knows what side of the heli to get into.
In short if you not a dumb bunny there is work.
Being personable with the right attitude goes a long way
