a little advise..... but not much !!

Hi,

Firstly, I must admit I've been out of the training side of things for a few years but I've kept in touch with whats going on...

Having said that, I'll say what I always say when asked for training advice - talk to David Coulson at Cranfield Flight Training (they have a website with their phone number - I dont have it with me right now...). David always seems to know where is best for individual trainees, probably due to his 20,000 plus hours in training (plus thousands of non training hours as well).

As for the job market today - in short, no hope !!! There are many, many experienced and type rated pilots looking for work so new CPLs have no chance..... BUT if you can predict when the economy will recover you can time completing your training to finish just as the jobs appear...

So, not much advice but the best I can do...

Good luck,

Ian.
