Students

I've also noticed that on most schools, there are not enough locals taking up flying lessons nowadays. The demand for an aviation career is not as attractive as it used to be. They are now more into finance, computers and others.

From what I've seen on most schools, almost 90% of students are now made up of overseas students/airline cadets.

The bottom flow is now dramatically slowing down and it will sooner if not later affect the top line of future captains.
