Oh and just so you know how I did my research!
go to google and cycle through all the domains (.com/.co.uk/.com.au/.co.nz/.ie/.ca) etc
type in things like
"pilot jobs outlook"
"aviation market outlook"
"pilot shortage" - this one is risky as a lot of FTO propaganda
as in any research try and use only sources that have no motive for gain. Journals, financial reports and government are usually unbiased. The absolute best is airlines financial reviews that cite a growing shortage (flybys most recent half yearly does this and is one of the first in Europe)
Its as easy as that!
By doing this you will take all of the hope crushing stuff on this forum (as well intentioned as it may be) with the same grain of salt that you use when being told about the pilot shortage from the schools
