Finally, some sensible discussion about the supply and demand situation for pilot jobs.
Flying schools and aeroplane sales organisations have always promoted flying training.
We need to balance this with information from other sources.

I think that aviation is still a good investment, but i dont see it has an investment but has a way of life, many are concerned that there is no jobs, but mostly this is about airlines, and many times its just about how much i will earn and this, and this are the same people that "sell" themselfes to the airlines.
Nothing agnaist them, but i just see things from a diferent way.
My advice is get to know the local aviation sceene, if you are not willing to move to another place. Try to be like a member of a club, do your things right and the opportunity will come. This is the way many started, and now their are airline captains.
The general aviation /private executive aviation, its a small world, usually people help each other, employed pilots help new unemployed pilots, make them contact with plane owners. Thats why im saying save your money from integrated training, spend it flying with other people that have experience and acess to private planes, its cheaper and you learn alot.
Im young, started flying 2 years ago, but im more like an oldschool, if i got a job flying warbirds or jetfighters just for demonstration i would do it instead of an airliner. That would be wicked
i will keep dreaming...

A New Zealand Growth Industry. Growing up in N.Z. then 'Shipping Out' to the 'Promised Land' to earn the Big Dollars. Must be over 51 % of the N.Z. born population here already. Seem to be everywhere on the Sunshine Coast. Do they ever go back later, other than for holidays?
