I'm afraid the easy bit was getting the licence, the toughest part is now ahead: Getting a job. Her natural choice, KLM is only just starting to drain its holding pool of 300 or so, Transavia have completed their hiring and to cap it all, she may now be competing with the current Martinair pilots who haven't managed to transition into KLM (due to the action of 30 or so very selfish, prime-donnas). So she is going to have to look abroad. Even if she is a very standard NLS graduate, she should be capable of passing the tests potential employers throw at her. Assuming she'll be your average Dutch girl, she'll also be fluent in a few languages as well. So she is more employable than most but I'm afraid it's time for travelling.
