The Longer Term
Whilst I see a lot of speculation about pilot jobs in the future in the Wannabes section, I haven't seen many Wannabes openly discuss the potential effects of Peak Oil. Is it worth considering, particularly since there were quite a few dramatic increases in the "reserves" of OPEC nations in the 1980's?
I suppose the best solution would be to start a career which is not linked to aviation then move since this could increase the odds of someone holding a job should a "black swan" like Peak Oil impact aviation.
I don't want to panic monger but I think it could be a useful point of discussion for potential future pilots.
