The Glass is Half Full - Really?
I've no flying experience except a few trial lessons, but I love it.
I'm about to graduate with an Aerospace Engineering degree and I have a job lined up with a very prestigious aero engine manufacturer.
Despite this I'm still a wannabe. I still want to fly aircraft for a living but I'm nervous. There may be a just glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel but who is to say that the training programmes will go back to the way they used to be?
By that I mean, I have a nasty feeling that pay-to-fly schemes are here to stay and unfortunately in the future they could be the only window into the industry for low hour pilots.
I can't see the upturn, when it comes, changing any of that.
