I agree about the employment chances comment above. CAA issued about 1200 CPL and 1200 ATPL licenses in 2007 alone and similar numbers in 2005 or 2006. About 7000-8000 pliots in 3 years.
And there were about 10,000 (before recession) pilot jobs in all of the UK.
Me thinks, even if no single pilot came out of the production line anymore, we have enough pilots for next 50 years.

Anyone can advise me on how to become CAA examiner as this is probably the only job where I can see the growing demand in future?
