....there are dark days ahead for the European and UK economy...
There is a discernible distinction between the 2. Major economies in mainland Europe are ahead in their economic cycles and are already seeing the return of minimal but steady growth. Whilst the IMF has revised world growth figures upwards.
However the UK, I am sorry to say, has not yet been through the worst of it. With an elction looming, anticipated significant public sector cuts by whoever wins, record borrowing of £890bn/over 60% of GDP
it is more likely the UK will end up going to the IMF with cap hand looking for a hand out.
I would agree with alphaadrian's prediction of 2012/2013 before we see any kind of consistent and sustainable growth and with a lot longer before we see pilot recruitment reaching anywhere near the heady heights of 05-07 (if at all possible). This prediction excludes the impact of any fundamental legislative changes designed to accommodate the UK meeting its CO2 targets.
Unless you can get into RYR or find enough bucks for a self sponsored TR (risky at best and you wont make any friends for later) then the best bet is to learn another language, get out of the UK and go world walkabout...you'll have some fun and you'll do some great flying.
Good luck though.
