I just left Europe. It is still viewed as a prestigious career but there are soooo many unemployed pilots that the majority finishing training today probably won't find a flying job in the next decade. It is a really tough market there at the moment. Statistics show that flight training in Europe has just started to slow down even thingy tue economic slowdown started 5-6 years ago. I just left working at a flying school there and I am consistently asked by former students and coworkers on the process to emigrate to find a pilot job elsewhere.
