Flight schools combined with low cost Airlines have become very persuasive in sucking young people into long term debt on a promise of a well paid job.
The problem is that the information regarding a permanent Pilot shortage is fundamentally flawed and always has been. They take an extremely good year of aircraft production and figures produced by the manufacturer's and project it (exponentially) forward. These figures are entirely misleading.
Every ten years there is an Aviation Industry collapse which takes years then to recover from. The Ponzi's in the flight training scheme are those holding the brand new licence or those in the middle of flight training at the time of the collapse.
In addition, we're looking clearly at semi-autonomous Aircraft being delivered in the relatively short term, especially if you consider a Pilot Career being up to 40 years. It will come in the same way as the Career failure of Flight Engineers occurred 20-30 years ago.
With global warming and other ethical issues surrounding the Airline industry, this is not the place to be.
