Wannabes,
Dont let negative suggestions deter you from realising your full potential.
Unlike someone who's been lucky all the way through his job placement, if you dont try, you wont know until you do.
Don't spend away your folks' nestegg. Don't be ignorant, naive nor stupid. If you can afford it, go for it. "Be realistic, be practical." well my hairy beanbag to that.
I will not allow myself to get old and wrinkly and imagine what could have been.
I spent my 20s and early 30s earning for flight school fees. Didnt use daddy's $. I hav'nt looked back since.
Everytime I jump in the cockpit, I feel exactly where I belong.
Did i suggest everyone who came to Indonesia, knocked on doors and left with a job? Every industry has a window of opportunity. Who cares about India? They screwed it up big time from over expansion. A case of too much too soon.
Jon, You're quite a sourpuss aye? Now that you're in the shiny jet, you're discouraging others to follow the path?
"My friend this, my friend that". Hey muppet, Ive been in Indonesia for 2yrs, somehow being the insider trumps your hearsay.
Every time a flight is good to go, it is the PIC's final decision to depart or not. Having missionitis WILL kill you. The SusiAir pilots have pireps, weather reports as well as just plain and simple judgement to decide.
Again, don't spread rumours about facts you seem to know.
Right Jon, get out of the limelight please.
If all you can think of is getting into a shiny jet at first step and if you dont make it, you only have yourself to blame for not lowering your expectations a little.
I have actual 'friends' in Sriwijaya(B737), LionAir(B737), WingsAir(ATR72), Merpati(MA60 & TwinOtter), Batavia(B737), AirAsia(A320),SusiAir(Caravan &PA180Avanti), --- these guys all joined with zero commercial hours.
"Living the dream.".
