Status of new pilots coming into GA?

[Neal]

In my area, many of the flight schools closed down years ago. It seems the influx of pilots is very low. What is the consensus on people getting their pilot's licenses compared to 10-20 years ago? Is it too expensive to pursue now? What's it like in your area?

In Houston it is a thriving market for private pilot and add on ratings. Just do very good homework on the flight schools.
