Hello,

There no way to make money in this biz, even paid, you can not pay back your loan, debts, and have a life.

most airlines now pay 2000E max, based near an international airport, you can not survive unless to live with your parents or in a caravan.

Even a flight instructor in UK, doesn't make enough, can barely survive in summer, but in winter time, there are no much flight going on, and I know many FIs who have simply given up because they told me they can not live with 1000 euro a month.

The problems in this business are: training is too expensive, too many pilots looking, low paid salary, and now pilots have to pay for everything.

I think in 5 years, they will hire pilot with a PPL only and a type rating , Commercial pilot is not a profession anymore, but a hobby.

I think the CAA should review their license and erase the world CPL, and replace by something like MPL for monkey pilot license, ...
