hmm...

I may be wrong but I am sure that currently where overseas flight schools provide JAA training, their instructors are required to hold JAA licenses. If this is the case then this EASA deal should have no impact.

If not then to some extent it will.

To some extent because it is clear the industry similar to others are experiencign a downturn.

Airlines are holding their recruitment back, hourly rates are due an increase due to high fuel prices, and the number of wannabees in training will also gradually subside - thus there would be more pressure on flight schools to remain competetive to attract business and even stay afloat!. If airlines are going bust, surely flight schools are due to drop too!

Even if EASA licensing were to create issues - I believe flight schools will have sufficient supply of resources (like always) to continue without needing increasing prices.

I will get back to counting beans for now! ;-)
