Well, over here there is a real shortage of suitable entrylevel pilots. Suitable in that case of course means you have the required soft skill as well as good airmanship skills and speak the correct languages (fluent german and english). There is of course an even higher demand for experienced guys that can be upgraded onto the left seat. A side-effect of the high demand on pilots is that many flight schools have problems finding enough flight instructors as those that do it as a part time job beside an airline job are often enough not allowed to do it anymore. Reason is that hours as flight instructors count into the yearly 900 blockhour limit.
