UK GA sick but not dead - yet!
Agree with Wxman for most part but it is more like £100k to £120k for CTC course and then join MON/EZY etc for low/unpaid 6 months (just expenses at MON) before back to dole queue.
However, even in the UK there are a few GA jobs - mostly light twin props flying freight etc.
Some flight schools still advertising for instructors. AERO 2012 at Friedrichshafen showed GA is not dead in the EU.
Better to be flying something than dreaming of Type Ratings and being fleeced by "schools" promising the earth......
