If you can afford to P2F and your willing to make a huge career gamble then yes i believe its a job. If you have circumstances where this is not a feasible option then NO its a place to avoid!
I think if the P2F contracts increase or extend over here in the EU then other countries may capitalise on that and bring our pilot across. Again if it is feasible.
I think a certain degree of finding a job MUST come down to who you know and networking?
Please correct me (nicely) if i am wrong?
