My word!!!! This is certainly reality knocking hard at our doorsteps! There I was as a Caribbean national keeping my fingers crossed that once done with flight training here in the US, I could probably flight instruct for a while and then move on up (very slowly from what I'm seeing). But I was recently discouraged by a fellow pilot friend that my chances are better off if I simply return to my birth country. From reading all these posts about the hiring chances of non-US citizens in the US, I am strongly considering doing just that. It's definitely not a lie that the industry isn't what it once used to be, but regardless of that fact, we should always try to remain optimistic. Now of course money will always be one of the main issues to take into consideration when contemplating where and by whom one would like to be employed, but let's not forget why we spent so many thousands on flight training in the first place. I can tell you for a fact that my mom was, without a doubt, not the one who decided that I should attend flight school
. Keep up the faith!!!!!!!!!!!
