Fiveoh,

Apart from what has been said re. the market (bloodbath popped up ), the other problem you'd face IF there WOULD be jobs is work permits.

There's NO WAY you - as a 250hrs pilot - would get a work permit for either the US or Europe! The issue is both countries have a !!!!!load of unemployed pilots, often with hundreds or thousands more hours, so they are not gonna let another one attend the party.

Re. instructing:

It's just that I think I would find it very boring doing the same routine over and over again.
I think once you're licensed you'll see that opinion fades very fast. Every day is a bit different, even in the GA world, new challenges come up, and you'll just be grateful to have the chance to fly over and over again, sharpen your skills, make friends and fly for no cost. Trust me, you will!
