Training and Job Prospects - Help !!!!!
For the last six months I have been researching a career in fixed-wing aviation. Right now things seem to be (very) gloomy at the recruitment end of things, with what seems to be a surplus of well-qualified pilots. I hadn't really thought about rotory as I assumed the cost to be prohibitive. That is until now.
Having recently checked out a few websites I have formulated a few ideas and would appreciate if anyone could help substantiate these or blow me out the sky (pardon the pun).
Is the job-market reasonably buoyant at the moment, and how do things seem to be going? I would not look to become qualified for about 3 years.
Also, what prospects are there for a new guy with low-hours?
Finally, I understand that there is not much logic in going abroad for cheaper training. Is this the case? Will I just end up shelling out more to convert or can the costs be justified?
Any advice to a wanabee is appreciated as I've now confused myself ie. fixed wing/rotory.........

Skint.
