Its quite a worrying time all round to be honest. It seems everything is very unpredictable at the moment. No one really knows whats going to happen next.
With the bottom line being that the Government wants to bring anything that has an engine to a halt pretty much by taxing to the point of destruction, its with trepidation that I continue training. As much as I want the job, you have to be realistic and know when enough is enough. Is it going to be a viable industry to work in ten years time? Will the indstry exist at all? Harsh questions, and some would say ' dont talk nonsense, but I personally think it could happen.
I would put a fair amount on GA being wiped out before ten years, probably more like five. My advice is to enjoy your flying now and make the most of it. You may be part of history to say one day, you once hald a pilots licence!
