I doubt if any foreign students training now will be affected. However, with the exchange rate and the lack of jobs around I can't see many academies being around for much longer either. Apart from a tax perspective or peddling the ole 'all the Gulf war pilots have retired or died' we need more pilots before the drones take them all! Blah!
