Best wishes to all
Keep the information coming, it makes for very sad reading but is also immensely informative for those of us contemplating making the move.
Many thanks to those who have posted so far and I wish you all the very best of luck in joining the paid flight deck crews of the world.
Frankly this calls into question the morality of encouraging so many people to pursue a course of training with such dire job prospects at the end of it. It's perfectly legal, but is it moral? I can't think of another course of study anywhere with such low employment rates and which is so costly in terms of time and money. Worrying really because having left a rather well paid IT job in September, aged nearly 34 I'm fast running out of options.
I really wish I could love IT as much as I love flying!
