I was going to write a factual and realist reply but as it's been said a million times before and as you have specifically said you don't wan't to hear it, I won't bother.
Pay your money, do your training, keep taking the disproportionate optimism pills and everything will work out just peachy. How's that for you.
A couple of points of fact:
there are loads of other flying jobs out there
Not with vacancies, there aren't.
regardless of your industry, profession or state of the economy there is always work to be found
No there isn't. Unless you're including McJobs, but then you could save yourself £70k and do that direct.
