Certainly didn't mean to preach to you about coming through the ranks, if you have picked up on that bit of my post and felt that I was aiming at you then accept my sincere apologies.
When Oil hits $180 a barrel, I shall politely remind you of this thread.
The point I was trying to make was summed up by this:
All this talk of economics is a sidebar to me. If you think you are going to qualify and get into a 737 anytime soon then you quite clearly have that little common sense that to be brutally frank you will probably struggle withthe job anyway
We are on the same page when you say
how can anyone speak on here with any authority at all
But regardless of what is said on here, if its going to happen then it will. Anybody who is commencing training now in my mind is a fool who will no doubt be parted with his money in the short term.
This is not a self fulfilling phrophecy as you say but a fact that to me is as plain as day, its been good for a while now its going to be crap for a while so do something else for two years.
This thread was named to provide a counter arguement to the other thread that turned into an armchair economics lesson. Its almost irresponsible to have a thread on here that puts any positive spin on peoples employment prospects for the next 24-36 months but its good for balance I suppose
Not being "ignorant, arrogant and presumptuous" as others were intended to read the post as well as you, sincerely the fuel price bit was for you and I'll stand by that as a 4% spread on that price can happen most days.
I'm tring to get a realists point of view across unencumbered by armchair economics so that people dont find themselves with nowhere to go and HSBC all over them like a cheap coat..........
