I have a question.

Nekro,

How much time have you spent reading the various related posts on this PPRuNe training forum before you posted your question?

You can't affort to be jobless with large loans to pay back after training is completed and wanted to know if low time people are getting pick up quickly? ...... Really ......?

Part of me thinks this isn't a wind up! In case it is not, I will try to be brief.

1. There is no guarantee of a job following training. There are many rated, experienced and otherwise qualified pilots who are not employed or severly underemployed.

2. Future prospects are not great anywhere. The Middle East has its challanges, as does the Indian subcontinent and the rest of Asia, Europe and the United States are in recession. It will probably get worse before it gets better.

3. In most regions terms and conditions of employment are under pressure. Translation; work much harder and longer for less pay.

So much for the good news.
