Abundant Oil - will it last your career?
As student pilots, one way or another, we're investing in a career that will hopefully span several decades. Yet, there are few industries more dependent on cheap & plentiful supplies of oil.
So, what do you think? Most of us are in our 20's and 30's, by the time we're in our 50's and early 60's will there still be the 1p weekend trip to Spain or the business conference in New York? Do you consider it a risk? The latter years of a career are the most fragile - do you have a plan B? Do you think an alternative to oil will have been found for aviation by then? Do you think it's all scaremongering because there's 'plenty of oil left'?
