Bullish Views of the Wannabe Prospects
Ah Ha,
Now i thought i would take WWW's advice and start such a thread because i think we are in dire need of something to be bullish about. At the moment, we find ourselves doing a lot of head-scratching as we wade our way through a media frenzy of hideously high oil prices, cut backs, restructuring, outsourcing, pilots being laid off, recruitment freezes - all on a near global scale.
Things WILL get better. It's part of the natural order of things. Next year house prices will once again start soaring, credit willl be cheap and the fuel price will just keep going down and down. There will be a shortage of pilots once more and airlines will hire on increasingly favorable terms and conditions.
In short , there has never been a better time to start training. Go on, you know you want to...
Now that's bullish. Or is it bulls**t ??

Marketing campaigns by flight training organisations have always been bullish and bull**** and people going for it at the mo are committing commercial suicide.
You only realise the value of £1000s of cash once its gone.

If you want to be a pilot. There is no such thing as a good or bad time to start training. If there's a boom when you finish. Great. If not, you keep your licence valid by instructing or some other form of (hopefully) paid flying and you wait for the turn around. If you really want to fly, this will be no problem to you. The flying will be interesting, only the poor pay will frustrate you. If you only want to be an 'airline pilot'. Then you will give up and go back to whatever you did before, leaving the field to the real pilots.

There is a school of thought that when the market is low is when you should train. Aviation is a cyclical boom and bust business, always has been. It will bounce back sooner or later and you need to be there when the boom starts again.
I did my PPL and ATPL's in 02,03 and people said I was mad and that there would never be any jobs in aviation ever again; they were wrong. Just don't bet the bank on it right now. Get your PPL and ATPL's out the way while you work full time and don't get into training debt. That was the advice I was given then and it's what I'm giving now.
Bullish as you can sensibly be!
