Just to add to UAV here are what I believe are hard cold facts:

Airlines are not going to start employing Pilots again until late 2010 (at the earliest)

When they do start employing the first they're going to employ are all the people with thousands of hours made redundant by the likes of Zoom.

Late 2011 they may get round to employing Pilots who are lower down the scale (in terms of flight hours experience) such as the charter pilots and experienced instructors.

Then in 2012 they will get onto the thousands of people with CPL/IR.

Realistically it is going to be 2013 before the newbie CPL/IR has a decent chance of getting a job.

Do Not start training before 2011 - it will be a complete waste of time and money until then.
