strafer, I did bother to review your posts across the site before my original post.
Your views were especially noticeable after reminding myself of your very strong opinions on not paying up front for anything and the 'usurers' lending money to wannabees. I'm pretty certain you're one of very few who've trotted out that word in context on this site.......
A Ventura - never admit you've got more money than sense on this website, there's loads of little bolsheviks just waiting to burn your petit beorgouis house down.
To the 'It f***s it up for the rest of us' posters- ah, diddums. You might not be aware that there are many other wannabe pilots who are doing the training because it's what they want to do. Whether you can get a job or not, is not something that keeps them awake at night.
If that isn't an agenda - do what you want, spend what you want, ignore all others - I don't know what is. In itself that's not a problem and we'd never dream of commenting. However, when you're preaching it regarding these long running crap schemes we step in. We step in because you're vocally adding to the weight of opinion supporting schemes you admit you know absolutely nothing about.
However, they are things that I do know about. They are things that, like the Guvnor, we are involved in assisting the police and prosecutors in bringing charges.
I'm happy for the forum readers to come to their own judgement regarding arrogance quotients.
I'm equally happy for them to continue thinking through why with over 20,000 ATPL's using the site each day they don't bother to assist you on this part of the site.
Finally, 9 days after the original request for help and 40,000 plus per day reading the site there still isn't a single first or even second hand tale from a 'graduate' of one of these schemes. Surely even a fearsome, freeminded, freespeaking libertarian such as yourself can draw the conclusion most others have? Or do you think we at the Towers should stand by and support your Darwinian appproach to jobs. Let the terminally inexperienced and naive simply spend their way right out of the job market and make more room for the older guys?
There's a certain rugged ruthlessness to it I must admit we have to grudgingly admire
Regards
Rob
