GA is a shrinking market in "certified-land" and with the latest changes in regulations, ADS-B/Mode-S/833/ELT/etc, the authorities generated an artificial peak in demand. No merchantman would ever hire people based on that peak, because in 2020 nobody will have a need for them. In economics the market would normally react in a raise of prices to compensate, but buyers do have an alternate in europe - stop flying, as most of the volume in europe GA is from pleasure flying. If I look around here and see what officially certified mechanics have to do, how they do and what they do, I do not see the real thing in certification. But, here the small aircrafts are a vital transport mechanism and many parts won't be accessible at all without GA. Guys, get used to the situation over there, it won't change.
