I love it when Wannabes come on about how its worth training because things will pick up. My good friends over on the Flying Instructor forum (which I also Mod) are eagerly waiting to take your cash.
ei-flyer, lets wait until the winters actually over before we count up the corpses eh? With Lingus collapsing their LGW operation down to only Malaga + some local Irish airport destinations there may well be one quite close to home.
The only jobs in the airline world in Europe require the payment of a circa £30k to attain on a part time, contractor basis. Pay to fly is all there is. Sadly the entry fee is now North of £100k to access the flightdeck.
Since summer 2007 I have been warning of this.
Still they enrol.
